On May 13, 2009, this blog turned one!  In the past year, there were 43 blog posts and many wonderful student projects published on the Student Project Gallery page.

The blog has received hits from all over the world including 6 continents! Unfortunately, the ClustrMap on the sidebar reset on May 13, so I am unable to get a large map showing where all the hits came.  However, I was able to get this thumbnail:

Though it’s small you can still see the international audience that the blog has reached.  Students are no longer producing work for a small audience. It’s amazing how people around the world are looking at the wonderful projects students are producing at Bellows Spring.

Happy 1st Birthday Techno Cheetah!

All of the 4th grade famous Marylander podcasts are now available in the Student Project Gallery.

In addition, 5th grade students recorded podcasts about the common good.  These podcasts are also available for your listening pleasure.

Mrs. Beach’s 4th grade class just completed recording podcasts about famous Marylanders.  You can hear them by going to the Student Project Gallery.

Check back later as Mrs. Carmona’s and Mr. McDonald’s student podcasts will be posted when they have finished recording.

Third, fourth, and fifth grade students all made posters to convey the goals they’d like to see Barack Obama accomplish as our new president.  All the posters were uploaded to Animoto to create class videos.  Go to the Student Project Gallery and click on the appropriate links to see the videos.
