Welcome to
Ruth Fox Elementary's Summer Institute
Get Fit: Explore. Question. Wonder. Think. Collaborate. Create.
Get ready to build some academic muscle!
During this institute you will investigate media fitness, physical fitness, nutritional fitness, and build mental fitness by participating in numerous interactive literacy and math investigations.
Throughout the Institute, you will grow your understanding of various digital tools and resources—such as, Diigo, Evernote, Jing, Weebly, ScreenChomp, Popplet Lite—and how they can be used to help you collaborate, think, research and produce information, while learning important skills and concepts along the way. We will engage in several "Get Fit Challenges", have several guest speakers, participate in a cardio fitness class at Dragon Karate with Master Cousineau, visit a bookstore, and Skype with young adult author, Ellen Potter, as well as two Michigan Junior Olympians!
During the Institute and in the upcoming school year, you will have opportunities to share your digital creations and knowledge with peers, Ruth Fox staff members and on the World Wide Web.
