Fifth Grade Happy Music Video!

Both fifth grade classes joined forces to bring you these end-of-the-year videos for the 2013-2014 school year!

The fifth graders had a lot of fun filming, and they gave up a lot of recess time! About 100% of the filming took place during recesses over the past two months. What a great way to remember the school year! All of our students were filmed for the main video, and there was so much footage I had to spill it over into a bonus video as well. And, of course, the bloopers were classic!

A large majority of the ideas for each of the scenes also came from the students. Usually I just told them, "Alright, what do you want to do? Where are we going to go?" Without their ideas and help, it would not have been such a success! Great job, you guys!! :-)

The three videos are embedded below. Enjoy!

Updates to Riedlteach.com

I have updated a few pages on or relating to my website that will hopefully be helpful to you.

The Classroom Photos & Videos page has been updated with easy-to-access links to my Mr. Riedl Google+ page (photos) and my YouTube channel (videos).

I added a new album to the classroom photos collection: Cave Canum Mosaic Art 2014-04-17. Be sure to check it out and browse the beauty of variety in our students' art projects!

On the front page of Riedlteach.com, I have added several small buttons below the main 6 sections of my website. Those buttons are quick links to commonly accessed pages:


Lastly, I updated the Forms & Resources page awhile ago. It only has a few items right now. I am wanting to put more forms online for families to access at home, but I would love feedback to know which ones would be most useful. Please let me know by replying or leaving a comment. Thanks!

New Photo Albums on Google+

For your viewing pleasure, I currently store all classroom photos in two locations: Google+ and Facebook. My preference is Google+ for a variety of reasons, but the main one is that you are able to download an entire album of photos at once (as far as I know, Facebook only allows you to download one photo at a time). So, all of the student work albums listed below will send you to the albums on Google+. Random photos from the school year are located in both locations.

Google+ Photos is relatively new to me, as I have used PicasaWeb up until this point in time. A couple of the albums below have been transferred to G+ from PicasaWeb, so some of you may have already seen them. I absolutely love Google+ Photos and the options available on the mobile app, allowing me to take pictures and easily upload them to G+ and/or Google Drive without even having to sit in front of the computer!

And of course, Google+ creates Auto Awesome photos for fun!

Enjoy the classroom photos below (Random photos of the 2013-2014 school year so far are at the bottom!).

Hand Drawings

We enjoyed finishing up our first art project a couple of weeks ago! They are now hanging on the Student Showcase in the classroom. Embedded slideshow is below. Enjoy!

Embossing Incan Heads

This past week, Mrs. Golsan, one of our many awesome parent volunteers, came in to teach our students about Incan culture. The activity that went along with the lesson was learning how to emboss a picture into sheet metal. Using a ballpoint pen to press hard on the lines of the drawing, it embosses an imprint of the sketch. Very fun! The students enjoyed it, but I wasn't able to photograph all of them.
