Maywood Drupal Website Online

We are gradually moving each of our school websites into the Drupal Content Management System website software.

The older, simple and functional Maywood website was moved to a new webserver in September, 2010. We also moved from the old domain name (www.cuesd.tehama.k12.ca.us) to our new domain name (www.cuesdmaywood.org). The District website also moved from the old domain name (www.cuesd.tehama.k12.ca.us) to our new district level domain name (www.corningelementary.org).

Our new Maywood Middle School websites is now at: http://maywoodcuesd.org/

Maywood teachers and staff were trained in using Drupal this month.

Algebra Help - 7th Grade

Mr. Gamboa teaches mathematics to the 7th grade students at Maywood Middle School.

He has provided students with links to many online resources to use with the Holt Mathematics, Course 2, textbook. These links help students with Pre-Algebra and basic Algebra topics, concepts, and skills.

Learning to Write - Penmanship

"Mike,

Not sure if I have the right contact, but I just wanted to let you know that, as an Elementary school teacher, I have been using your page with information on writing and other alphabet activities (First Grade Curriculum Resources) . It's been helpful...thank you for making it!

Here's another good page that I've bookmarked and have been suggesting to my kids:

Pick Up the Pen: Learning to Write


It's a great reference, covering handwriting skills, alphabet activities, printable worksheets and other lesson plans. I thought you and your visitors might find it useful. Hope you like it!

Have a great October!"

Thanks to Sarah Hanson

Holiday Fun

Mrs. Stout, Computer Center Specialist at Maywood School, has a variety of interesting webpages that might be useful with 5th to 7th grade students such as: Halloween Scavenger Hunt, Thanksgiving History Scavenger Hunt, Google Earth Hunt, and Christmas Tree Scavenger Hunt.

She also has a good links page for 8th grade students working on researching Careers.

Practice Tests Online

Some of our teachers have placed practice tests online for students to use.

Mr. Rypka, 6th Grade Teacher of mathematics and science at Maywood, has places mathematics tests online for his students to use. For example, check out the Unit 5 Cumulative Test Practice.

Mr. Barletto, 6th Grade Physical Education Teacher at Maywood, has placed numerous tests online for his students to use. For example, check out the Volleyball Test.

"Everyday Math Resources" for the 4th Grade was adopted by the Center School District. The CUESD has also adopted these mathematics resources.

A good webpage with supporting instructional resources for 4th grade students learning math can be found at Fourth Grade Math Resources.

Cool Kids' Websites for 5th Grade Students

Mrs. Lucero, 5th Grade teacher at Woodson School, as assembled a number of useful links for 5th grade students and their parents. Topics include math, language arts, science, social studies, geography, states, animals, U.S. revolutionary war, Native Americans, fun sites, search engines, and "The Day I Was Born."

Drupal Teacher Accounts

Every teacher at Maywood Middle School now has a Teacher's Page in the new Maywood Drupal Website. Each teacher was sent their new Drupal username and password. Each teacher was sent basic instructions on how to use a Teacher Page: http://cuesiz.blogspot.com/2010/09/maywood-drupal-website-teacher-accounts_28.html

The new Maywood Middle School Website is now online at: http://maywoodcuesd.org/

Each teacher can edit their Teacher's Page, add links, cut and past text into the editor, add images and photographs, import files, etc. This new situation is a break through in terms of freeing teachers from the need to work with a IT Webmaster to get information online for their students, parents, or other teachers.

Speak to Mike Garofalo for more information.

Blogging for Teachers

Mike Garofalo, CUESD District Librarian, has prepared a general introduction for teachers or staff using either the Drupal Teacher Accounts blogging feature, Blogger, Typepad or Word Press.

We have a few teachers now maintaining a professional blog in the CUESD (Corning Union Elementary School District). More teachers will begin blogging as we implement the Drupal content management system at each of our five schools in 2011.

Mathematics - 6th Grade

The first CUESD teacher to post a content page using the Drupal content management system is Martin Jimenez, 6th Grade Teacher at the Maywood Middle School.
