PICTURES TRAVELERS 3RD GRADE - COX Ms. Cox began to teach students how to use google slides with the plan being for each student to start by making a google slide about themselves and their interests. She showed them how to open a new blank google slide, change its background color, add pictures and add customized text boxes. It was impressive to see how quickly her students picked up these basic slide-making skills. It was great that desk neighbors helped each other out when Ms. Cox was busy assisting other students.

Students started with a movement activity and then students learned health information using a bingo game format. 9-9-2021 VOYAGERS 4TH GRADE ART - MONTGOMERY Students could use the internet to come up with ideas for drawing cover art on their art folders.
