Cats in Hats
In honor of Dr. Seuss’ birthday, the 6th & 7th graders created animated Cats in Hats. Using an image of the Cat in the Hat without a hat that was shared by Becky C. on Elementary Tech Teachers, each student used Paint.NET to create from 3-10 different hats for the cat. Once the hats were complete, students headed over to Picasion and uploaded their images to create their animated GIF.
Which do you think are the funniest? The most Dr. Seuss-like? The most creative?

In addition to creating Cats in Hats, students also wrote a poem in the style of Dr. Seuss to describe their hats. If you want to check out the poems just click on any of the animated images and you will be taken to the student’s post on their ePortfolio site.
2012-13: End of Quarter 1
6th Grade finished out the quarter by creating their ePortfolio sites. If you are interested in more details about any of the assignments for the 1st Quarter, you can read more about them on our wiki.

September 2012 in the Lab
It has been a busy month for 6th grade in the Computer Lab. Here’s a little bit about what they’ve done and you can check out samples of their work on their ePortfolio sites starting in mid-October.
- Self-Portraits: Every year in the lab, every K-8 student draws a self-portrait. This year 6th Grade used MS Paint to draw their portraits and will be using these as avatars on Edmodo.
- International Dot Day: All K-8 students participated in this event by drawing dots. Middle School students drew dots to represent how they wish to make their mark in the world and then they wrote a paragraph about their dot in Microsoft Word using MLA format.
- Excel Crossword Puzzles: All Middle School students learn (or review) how to create a crossword puzzle in Excel. They are required to create a crossword puzzle for their October Book Report.
