Powerpoint+Presentations

Because I have been fortunate enough to have a mounted LCD projector in my classroom, I am able to make use of recent technology. Here are just a few Powerpoint Presentations I have created & have used in my classroom. Feel free to click on each presentation I have embedded to view it. I like to use Powerpoint because I feel that most children are visual learners. This is an interesting & creative way to present the curriculum.

In sixth grade, I taught Science using the "Lab Learners" Program. This program allows the students to go to the Science Lab once a week & perform experiments. Our first topic was Matter. This is a presentation explaining one of the aspects of Matter.

Here is a presentation on how to write a character sketch. In class, we read //Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes//, one of my favorite books. I then had the students write a character sketch on Sadako. They had to choose 3 qualities that describe her & support them with examples from the story.
