C is for COMPUTER (create stations grades 3-5)

Let's recap...we have an acronym for our Library stations, and we have a system. Now we can break it down. As mentioned before, the Letter C for grades K-2 indicates a CONSTRUCTION stations.

However, if you are in the upper grades, C stands for COMPUTER or CHROMEBOOKS. Our library has 10 computers, and we used library funds to purchase 4 chromebooks. On the computer, there are many websites, activities, and symbaloos that students can access... there is also a digital choice board that was inspired and modeled after Shannon McClintock Miller's choice board. I rearranged the activities to fit in my CREATE categories and added some of my own. I also included the National Day calendar that another awesome educator shares through facebook.

Even though I love the choice boards, I also created interactive bitmoji classrooms for students to look around and locate different activities by clicking on pictures.  This was compiled by using all kinds of resources in the bitmoji community and all the generous educators during the pandemic. Hope you enjoy it and can use it for your own classroom.

Finally, the upper grades also have access to Minecraft EDU (the really old version), but I have enough worlds downloaded that it still works and the kids still enjoy building. The kids do love playing in the interactive worlds as a team. It builds great teamwork and collaboration. 

Here is a sign I use at the ORANGE computer station:
