Ponds Springs Battle with TurningPoint

Pond Springs Battle of the Bluebonnets team, and the TurningPoint "clickers" they used to qualify for the team!  Congratulations!  

Photostory Biographies

Ms. Addison's fifth graders recently used Photostory to tell the life story of a famous American.  Ms. Cook, the school librarian, taught the students how to use the Photostory software to tell a compelling story, and how to properly cite their sources.  She recently taught other educators how to use Photostory to tell stories and create book trailers at the Texas Computer Education Association convention in Austin, TX.

PPCD Students Classify with SMART

The preschoolers in Mrs. Nicholson's PPCD class learned to classify dinosaurs as "big" or "small" using the SMART board in the library.  Ms. Cook created the activity for the children.

It's a Bug's Life!

Pond Springs students explored the tiny world of insects using the microscope adapters on our Samsung document cameras.  They were able to zoom in on dragonfly wings and honeybee stingers, as well as other small things on Family Science Night.

Celebrations!

Our Third Graders learned about ways in which people in different cultures celebrate with their loved ones using the Pond Springs Research Resources page.  Along the way, they also learned about online research, taking notes, acceptable internet use and copyright agreements!

Baby It's Cold Outside!

Pond Springs Third Graders use the Vernier Go! Temperature Probes and Logger Pro software to graph the temperature of water before and after ice cubes are added.
