= Welcome to the Learning Center 1 Wiki. This wiki is designed to help parents, colleagues and cohorts from Saint Joseph College understand what Learning Center 1 has to offer the students at Annie E. Vinton Elementary School. = = If you are interested in learning more about the Communities Unit that Grade 2 will be undertaking please click on your child's homeroom to view the Photostory3 rubric and later, the actual Photostory presentations. Later you will be able to access your child's Photostory and go to Schooltube to make this more accessible to family and friends. Your child will also be creating a word cloud called a Wordle, which will relate to their chosen topic in the Communities unit. Students will be using this Wiki to respond to eachothers work and to their own work. Neighborhood Map Maker is a Web 2.0 tool that your child will use to create a map, instilling a virtual visual sense of community. = = You can also look at the Grade 2 Communities page to see presentations of books that relate to the unit. These books are also available in our school library. Finally, the students in Grade 2 will be playing a game called "Community Pictionary" to help them become familar with all the traits and characteristics that make communities special. =
