=Welcome to our Winter Wonderland Page! = Mrs. Codner and the 2nd Grade Tech Lab Owlets of Grassy Waters Elementary  West Palm Beach, FL

**January Activities**

**//Snowflake Bentley//**  We watched the video entitled //Snowflake Bentley// and learned plenty about Wilson Bentley, snow, and snowflakes. Then we used the cool snowflake-maker tool at [|SNOWDAYS] to create awesome snowflakes of our own. After using Paint.NET to crop and then save our images as JPEGs, we uploaded them to [|PictureTrail] to create some super slideshow flicks. Take a look at Ms. Sheppard's, Mrs. Davidsmeier's and Mrs. Gurkin's snowflakes a la Snowflake Bentley!

//**<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 16px;">December Holidays Survey **// <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">Surveying our 2nd Grade classes to learn about holidays we observe during the month of December was so much fun! Meanwhile, the 4th and 5th grade students were busy learning how to use Excel to create charts and graphs. So, after recording our data on each Gr.2-class survey form, our 4th and 5th grade techno-buddies helped create fabulous spreadsheets and charts to display our data in visual form. We could then easily compare and contrast our data with that of the KG, 1st, and 3rd grade classes.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"> Here's our chart... <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;">

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px;">**//Gingerbread Glyphs//** <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">The 2nd Graders learned how to utilize the formatting, paint bucket, click and drag, and insert functions in PowerPoint to complete their gingerbread glyphs. The children also observed how to convert their PowerPoint slides to JPEG format. Then, we uploaded the pictures to Animoto and created some cool videos. Here's a sample from Mrs. Von Gustedt's class. Enjoy!
