We thought it might be helpful to have a video teachers can use to help explain to their students what to do when the fire alarm goes off at school. So, we created this video using our new video app called TouchCast. We are still learning how to use this new app. Happy Viewing!

Who fired the first shot at Lexington, in the Colony of Massachusetts on April 19, 1775? was just one of many questions the fifth grade students tried to solve on their visit to Lexington and Concord.
We borrowed some photos and video taken by one of the fifth grade teachers, Mr. Wadness and by some of his students. We hope you enjoy this brief visit.

This is an update from our fall blog post about our new art installation by Joshua Winer, an artist from Wellesley, Massachusetts. It’s a mosaic and mobile installation depicting Mindfulness.
Mr. Harte, our technology teacher took time lapse photography using an iPad with the app called Frameographer. He kindly let us use his video. We are using TouchCast to create our video.
We hope you enjoyed our first use of video and green screen.
