Moodle is a classroom management system designed to help teachers and students interact for instructional purposes.
The 3 R’s are replaced in a 21 Century classroom by the 4 C’s: Creativity, Collaboration, Communication and Cognitive Skills.
Moodle provides a safe online environment for students to create and submit work, share ideas with group members and teachers, and save/download files all modeling 21st century classroom practices.

Want to get an idea on what makes a good tutorial? The free videos available via their website or Youtube give clear "plain english" instructions on a variety of topics. So when you are trying to get an idea on how you will create your tutorials using JingProject watch a couple of their videos to give you some ideas.
Welcome to Mrs. Scott's 8th Grade Science Class!In 8th grade we will be studying Physical Science, specifically Chemistry and Physics. On this page you will find many resources that we will be using throughout the school year. Be sure to check it frequently.
This is a site for all of Miss Kemp's 7th and 8th Grade students with information and helpful information for Science, Social Studies, Mathand Language Arts.
Do you know who exclaimed "Eureka" and why? A famous mathematician was pondering a problem a long time ago and suddenly thought of how to solve it. Welcome to 7th grade math where we will work cooperatively and individually to find solutions to a myriad of math problems involving number theory, measurement, geometry, patterns, algebra, data, statistics, and probability. It is a year to investigate, explore, and discover!! You can start by investigating the stories behind eureka and myriad using sites listed in my course.
Mission For The Class Have fun while learning about geography and the history of the world from the beginning of exploration by the Vikings until the development of the colonies in America. Of course, we will also learn why people do the wacky things they do.
We want to try to answer the questions: What is it that causes people to think and act a certain way?; Why do people continue to fight with each other?; How does geography affect a region?; and, How does basic economics work? (If we have time at the end of the year).
Additionally, we will study some little known facts in history such as piracy and the rest of the story of exploration and try to understand a little better why things happen the way they do.
Walt Disney once said, "There is more treasure in books than in all the pirate's loot on Treasure Island." This year in seventh grade language arts, you will discover treasure beyond your wildest dreams. You will explore some of the best middle school novels written during the past fifty years. I hope you enjoy the journey.
Welcome to Mr. Tucker's class. A wise old teacher once said, "knowledge is free; bring your own container." I hope you fill your "container" with the many adventures found in books.
Welcome to sixth grade science! This general course provides an overview of life science, earth science, and physical science. LIfe science topics include: basic cellular biology, intro to all domains and kingdoms of life, viruses, evolution, health, nutrition, and safety. Earth science topics include: plate tectonics, volcanoes, earthquakes, geologic time, rock cycle, and fossils. Physical science topics include: stars, elements, compounds, chemical changes, simple machines, fossil fuels, and alternative energy resources. Environmental science topics are incorporated all year as students learn about thier own ecosystem, the Pine Barrens. Essentially, the stage is set (earth science), the characters are placed upon the stage (life science), the props are distributed (physical science), then the characters are given their roles and the play of life unfolds (environmental science). I look forward to fueling the spark of wonder that glows within every child.
Welcome to Ms. Palko's Fifth Grade Math class. You can expect to learn a variety of topics this year. Topics range from the four operations to fractions to Algebra to Probability and beyond. I hope that you are up for a fun filled learning experience.
Welcome to Ms. Palko's Fifth Grade MATHThematics class. You can expect to learn a variety of topics through challenging lessons. You will, also, develop reasoning, problem solving, and communication skills that will enable you to apply mathematics to real-life experiences. Investigation in algebra, number sense, geometry, and beyond will take place on a daily basis in the MATHThematics course.
Art is an important part of education. It not only is fun, but it helps with development of academic learning. Students learn to strategize, to look for options, to be critical thinkers. It helps with eye-hand coordination and reading readiness skills. Art teaches understanding, compassion and tolerance of things, people, and cultures that are different from our own. It is a skill that can be taken with you throughout your life. Art can be learned, but it does require that you practice and that you use it.
This year we will expand our use of multimedia applications as we dabble in podcasting and video production. It's sure to be an exciting interactive year.

Hi everyone and welcome to the Basic Skills Program for 3rd and 4th Grade. We will continously be working on fluency skills, decoding words, reading comprehension, and all wonderful things related to reading. If you ever need to contact me, my email is rmacrae@ims.k12.nj.us. Let's get to reading!
Fall has arrived and we are beginning the year with renewed energy. Our hopes and dreams have been set and we are ready to forge ahead with new found goals and requirements. This can be overwhelming to many students. Talk to your child about their day. What may seem like a little problem to you, may be serious to them, and can build to unnecessary levels. Inform teachers of the stress your child is feeling so she can address it before it hinders their classroom performance.
I hope your child will enjoy school and work to their fullest potential.
The 21st century presents challenges of opening our lives to a more collaborative, social and global community creating a new social DNA for every individual. Living in the 21st century means we must learn to use the 4 C’s in all aspects of our lives, Creativity, Communication, Collaboration and Cognitive Skills. There are new tools available to us to meet the challenges before us, and become more diversified. Today’s students’ require the new innovative curriculum containing the 5 I’s to meet their new life style; Imagination, Inquiry, Invention, Implementation and Initiative. The learning style is ever changing to project-based and constructivism rather than rote or lecture. 21st century learners must utilize multitasking to maintain life a long learning status.
