Challenge For This Week
Here is a new website to go out and try. It is called Zooburst. It is a website that allows you to create 3-Dimensional Pop Up Books. I have had students create non-fiction books about birds and they have also created books from family vacations.
I have an account and for information on loggin in that will be sent to your email account. I will also share it with your parents. This is worth 10 tickets and you can trade in a night of reading for 20 minutes if you create one! Please make sure that you have the rights to use any photograph / picture - especially from the internet. To be safe, use Picasa or Flickr to help find "royalty free" images.

PTA
announces the 2011-2012 Reflections theme: DIVERSITY MEANS…
What is Reflections? Reflections is a PTA
sponsored art contest. It gives our kids the opportunity to express
their creativity in six different media categories: photography, visual
arts, musical composition, literature, dance choreography, and film production,
as well as the chance to compete at the local, district, state, and national
level.
Each entry must be an original work and “reflect” the theme
“Diversity Means …”.
PreK-2nd grade compete in the Primary level.
3rd-5th grade compete in the Intermediate
level.
Interested in allowing your child to unleash their
creativity in the PTA reflections contest? Please review the
general rules and specific guidelines for the media category before your child
begins. Remember to complete an entry form. Additionally, please
complete a parental consent form for musical, dance or film
entries. Please see links on the right.
Deadline for entries: Friday, October 28, 2011
7.30am-2pm in the library. Please remember to bring each creative work
with the necessary forms for participation. We look forward to a diverse
RCE art collection this year!
Thank you for your support,

Comic Challenge
Parents,
Here is a challenge for your child to do over the
weekend! I sent it also to their email account but figured they may not
check it this weekend. J
Go to this website: Body Depot
Read: Viral Attack
After you are done, then go and create your own comic to
share about something you learned about Viruses. :)
·
Comic Creator: Read Write Think
·
Superhero Comic Creator: Marvel Comic Creator
I think you will probably have to print this out (if they
will not let you save it) or use a camera to take a picture of it for credit.
This is worth 10 tickets!!!
Have fun with it!
