Shoesmith Elementary School

Welcome to The Bee Lines @Shoesmith, our official web site. This site is a collaboration between students, teachers and faculty designed to showcase the creativity and talent of our students. Of course, no effort would be successful without our parents. We look forward to demonstrating the talent, hard work, vision and dedication of our students through the continuous development of this site. Check back periodically for updates as our students enthusiastically present their work.

On Thursday, May 22nd, Shoesmith students guided by Mr. Willis and Ms. Lee presented their technology projects at the CUIP 2008 Technology Expo. They shared with fellow elementary school, middle school, and high school students how they had used technology as a part of their curriculum. Ms. Lee’s students showed off their PowerPoints on their Spanish-speaking countries project while Mr. Willis’ students displayed blogs that had been worked on over the year (the school website, The Buzz in the Hive student blog, and Battle of the Books). Overall, it was a great success and the students had a lot of fun showing off their projects as well as seeing what other students from nearby schools had accomplished as well.
