Each third grade class will enjoy a 90 minute lesson involving hands on science activities related to natural disasters including: earthquakes, hurricanes, volcanoes and tornadoes. The in-school science workshop will transform the third grade classrooms into living laboratories. The goal of the program is for students to become more actively involved in science.

Mobile Interwrite Pad
The high school math students will receive the benefit of Mobi View, a hand-held interactive whiteboard that provides many teaching and learning benefits through its interactive touch display. Students can collaborate from their seats with Mobi Learners to share their work with the class. The teacher can navigate a lesson with the Mobi View touch screens, type with the touch keypad and access CPS student response reports. The Mobile Interwrite Pad will help the teacher: assess student progress, make more efficient use of class time, and increase student participation and understanding.

Student Response Pads
The high school students will be using 28 new student response pads. Students will key their answers into the handheld CPS (Computer Performance System) response pads and the answer will be delivered immediately to their teacher. The teacher will know where the students need extra attention at the moment of instruction. CPS encourages greater student involvement and engagement.

Guided Reading Leveled Readers
The first grade class will receive four sets of leveled readers to support the new reading series. Each set contains 60 books that will meet students’ independent reading levels. The supplemental, leveled readers will provide a step-by-step, book-by-book program that guides children through the early stages of reading. The guided readers will help teachers evaluate student growth and promote independent reading.

BrainPopJr.com
A second grade class will be receiving a one year subscription to the BrainPopJr website. The website features short interactive videos that will increase student engagement as well as improve mastery of skills and use of technology. The videos can be viewed as a whole class or one-on-one. Each video is followed by an assessment quiz and other enrichment activities.
