During the Coulee Kids study of biodiversity, we communicated with a group of high school students and adults from an organization called i2P. Impossible to Possible hiked almost 125 miles through the Amazon River Basin in Brazil to raise awareness of the biodiversity and culture of the area.
Our teachers challenged us to become effective global citizens and make the lives better for the people of Brazil, so we created this project to educate and inform our viewing audience.
With today's technology tools, we can communicate and interact with people from other countries and actually get involved in making the world a better place.

For our first writing process podcast, we expanded our thoughts about every day things that we appreciate. After reading books by professional authors, we went through the five step writing process. We focused on the Six Trait skill of ideas as we creatively explored our topics. We worked on using our voice like a beautiful instrument, and the Podject Directors honed their GarageBand skills as they sewed our projects together.

The Newbery project was a readers’ challenge that promised to be an “award winning” experience. Students diligently read twenty current novels, which were possible contenders for the 2010 Newbery Medal. The Newbery Medal is awarded annually to the author with the most distinguished contribution to American literature for children in the United States during the preceding year. The goals of the Mock Newbery Challenge were to enrich and extend the current 7th grade language arts curriculum, to enhance higher level thinking skills through debating, persuasive speaking and writing, literary analysis, and much more. After reading and critically examining all 20 novels, students determined the one they felt best met the Newbery criteria and created this podcast to convince others.

The Coulee Kids took on the challenge of becoming positive, contributing global citizens when they decided to raise money for Pennies For Peace. Our classes went to see the author of THREE CUPS OF TEA, Greg Mortenson, and we heard how his organization was making a difference for children in Afghanistan and Pakistan by building schools and equipping them with educational supplies. In the process, we studied current news topics of the Greater Middle East and learned that children who are educated about health issues are less likely to die of disease, and kids who can read and write are less likely to become involved in terrorist activities. We felt that by helping to build a school in this area of the world, we could touch other kids’ lives and make a big difference in our world. We organized a penny drive at both our school and a local elementary school, State Road. This podcast was something we created to share with other kids so that they too can make a difference in our world.

The Coulee Kids from Longfellow Middle School took photos of our marvelous Mother Nature and turned them into origin myths. We went on a bus trip to Goose Island Park, located in the Coulee Region, equipped with a camera, our imagination, and a creative eye. We had already learned about basic photographic composition, and our assignment was to look for strange acts of nature that caused us to wonder. It was an enjoyable day that sparked our enthusiasm for writing.
During language arts class, we started the writing process by brainstorming and sharing our photos and wonders. Our teachers interjected lessons on word choice and how to revise our work as we worked through the entire writing process. When all of our stories had been approved, we learned about how to use enunciation, expression, pacing, and rhythm to keep the audience hooked
Dazzled by our creativity, the podject leaders flipped our projects into podcasts.
From lonely trees to mysterious birds, the Coulee Kids are proud to announce their newest podcast – Origin Myths!

On September 8, 2009, the president of the United States, Barack Obama, delivered a national address to the kids of America. He challenged students to set goals, take responsibility, and to work hard in school. For the first podcast of the year, we took the opportunity to respond to what the president had to say. In addition, we discovered what it takes to put together a class podcast. We each took an individual picture using PhotoBooth, and we learned how to record using GarageBand. Our Podject Leaders became experienced with the flash drive as they collected all of our audio and photos from each individual computer and sewed them together on one iBook to create our group podcast project. We welcome you to the 5th season of the Coulee Kids Podcast! Podject Leaders: Becky and Peyton

The Coulee Kids have been studying amphibians. These unique creatures live a “double life” as they rely on the land and the water to grow from an egg to a tadpole to a froglet to an adult frog. Because amphibians depend so heavily on land and water for survival, they are excellent ecological indicators telling us if something is right or wrong with our environment.
As we explored further into the Phylum Chordata, we found out that frogs and humans aren’t so different than we originally predicted. Actually, they have very similar body systems with comparable organs and tissues as we have in our human body.
In this Coulee Kids podcast, you will hear about each frog body system and its correlating forms and functions. You will see a close-up Proscope photo of our frog dissection, which allowed us to closely examine each system first hand.
To add a clever literary twist to our scientific study, we added interjections, oh my, and appositives, phrases which clarify the noun. This was an enjoyable challenge to bring together both language arts skills and science knowledge.
The Coulee Kids have been truly inspired by the devotion of the many moms, dads, uncles, aunts, brothers, and sisters who work endlessly serving in the United States military. It is their dedication to our freedoms and rights, which makes us proud to be Americans! We wanted to thank our soldiers, but we weren’t sure what to say in our letters. Ben, one of the kids in our class, asked his dad to come speak to us. Ron is a member of the Wisconsin National Guard, and since he visited us, he has been called to active duty in Iraq.
When Ron talked to our class, he mentioned that when he was in Iraq last time, he enjoyed hearing about what was going on at home. He said the every day things that we take for granted, like the snow and sleet that fell last night, the mayoral race, or just what we did over the weekend were all topics that soldiers would enjoy hearing about. He stressed the importance of using correct grammar, spelling, and punctuation in our correspondence. This gave us an idea. If we put our letters and thoughts into a podcast, we could not only write to the military personnel that the Coulee Kids’ students know and love, but to every soldier!
This podcast is for YOU! Let us entertain you with these news flashes from La Crosse, Wisconsin. Each podcast section will be a page-turner, whether it is sports, weather, entertainment, the latest movie releases, or just giving you a glimpse into our hometown news.
Thank you to all of the military men and women who serve our country. We are proud of you!

This podcast is for YOU! Let us entertain you with these news flashes from La Crosse, Wisconsin. Each podcast section will be a page-turner, whether it is sports, weather, entertainment, the latest movie releases, or just giving you a glimpse into our hometown news.
Thank you to all of the military men and women who serve our country. We are proud of you!
The Coulee Kids have been truly inspired by the devotion of the many moms, dads, uncles, aunts, brothers, and sisters who work endlessly serving in the United States military. It is their dedication to our freedoms and rights, which makes us proud to be Americans! We wanted to thank our soldiers, but we weren’t sure what to say in our letters. Ben, one of the kids in our class, asked his dad to come speak to us. Ron is a member of the Wisconsin National Guard, and since he visited us, he has been called to active duty in Iraq.
When Ron talked to our class, he mentioned that when he was in Iraq last time, he enjoyed hearing about what was going on at home. He said the every day things that we take for granted, like the snow and sleet that fell last night, the mayoral race, or just what we did over the weekend were all topics that soldiers would enjoy hearing about. He stressed the importance of using correct grammar, spelling, and punctuation in our correspondence. This gave us an idea. If we put our letters and thoughts into a podcast, we could not only write to the military personnel that the Coulee Kids’ students know and love, but to every soldier!

For this podcast, the Coulee Kids wrote personal narratives. A personal narrative is a story about an event in the life of the writer. It is written from the author’s point of view and recreates an incident by showing, not telling, which meant we had to be creative with our word choice. The 6-trait skill we focused on for this piece was voice, more specifically, YOU hearing OUR voice in our writing. We went through the writing process and concentrated on reading fluency so that our audience would enjoy the presentation. Podject Leader: Peri

Students listened to several episodes of the Coulee Kids' Classic Poetry Podcast, and they selected their favorite poem. Participants brainstormed initial reactions to the poem including theme, figurative language use, impact of the title, personal meaning, and more. Then, they organized a paragraph sharing their thoughts. Students practiced performing their written word and called our free voice mail service JConnect (http://home.j2.com). The responses were knit together to create this reflective podcast.
The Coulee Kids studied figurative language, making sophisticated connections to literature, and how to effectively use emphasis, inflection, tone, and pace when performing a podcast. Students learned about copyright issues and were introduced to topics such as public domain and Creative Commons licenses. Flickr was used as a tool to gather photographs.
In a live poetry slam, it is the audience’s obligation to respond to the poet in some way whether clapping, cheering, booing, or snapping their fingers. We are asking for a virtual response, but since we are kids, only positive responses please. Who knows, your comments may show up in our next podcast! If you would like to respond, call us at 1-612-241-6109. A recording will be made of your voice and sent to our email address as a quicktime file. Keep in mind, our teacher will review all messages before sharing!

Each Coulee Kids' student will introduce himself or herself to you. As you listen, try to determine whooooooose lying! The answer will be revealed at the end of the podcast. In order to complete this assignment, each student had to learn how to take photos, load them on the computer, create a GarageBand project, and to work effectively in a group. We also worked on the six trait skills of ideas and word choice. Podcast Leader: Mary

Welcome to the first podcast of the 2008-2009 school year! Most Americans know that the Fourth of July is our nation's birthday, but do you know that September 17, 1787, is the birth of the United States government? It is the day on which delegates to the Philadelphia Convention completed and signed the U.S. Constitution. Constitution Day is intended to celebrate not only the birthday of our government, but the ideas that make us Americans. The Coulee Kids created this podcast as a way to honor our constitution. Happy Constitution Day!
How does culture influence art? This essential question was answered during a mini unit on artwork of the Eastern Hemisphere. Using an interactive site sponsored by the National Gallery of Art, students created original artwork depicting their understanding and interpretation of a culture they researched.

We have been keeping arthropods alive in the classroom. How exciting it must have been for the bugs to travel to our school and live amongst teenagers for a few months. For this podcast, each seventh grader created a lesson on either needs of living things, adaptations, or reproduction and development – from the bug’s point of view!

Welcome to the 2007-2008 Coulee Kids' podcast. This third annual teacher introduction is a review of past years and a glimpse of the new and improved Coulee Kids' Podcast.
Coulee Kids discover many clever ways to study flowers using math, science, and art. Flowers are dissected, measurements are calculated, and Proscopes magnified the replication of pollen tubes right in front of our eyes. Finally, the beauty of flowers is preserved in a three-dimensional model and pressed artwork.
Learn more about three chromosomal disorders: Down Syndrome, Cri du Chat, and Turner Syndrome. You will be amazed to find out how slight chromosomal mutations can make a large impact on physical development.
During our Applied Genetics Unit, we explored selective breeding, cloning, gene therapy, and DNA fingerprinting. Not only did we study the facts, but we made individual choices about which scientific advances fit our own ethical viewpoints.
Cells are the basic building block of life. This podcast covers cell theory and development, the functions of cell organelles, the cell cycle, and how materials move in and out of a cell.
On February 21, The School and The Coulee students from Longfellow Middle School and the Medical Partnership students from Lincoln Middle School met to conduct a mock senatorial debate about stem cell research. We met at the Mathy Ethics Center at Viterbo College. After listening to experts in the medical, scientific, and religious sectors, we discussed, debated, and persuaded the other pseudo senators to take on our viewpoint about stem cells.
Improving athletic performance is the goal of athletes, and knowing and understanding the scientific method is the goal that science teachers have for their students. We used the scientific method to see if listening to music on our iPods made an impact on our daily walk/run. The question we proposed was, "How will athletic performance be affected by listening to songs with faster or slower beats per minute?" The songs on this podcast were created in response to this experiment. Download our songs for a great 6 day workout!

Without even realizing it, we have learned a lot about life in the 12 – 13 years we have been alive. We have an abundance of life stories that we think about long after they have occurred, the ones that make us laugh or cry. These stories are the kind we tell our friends and may someday remember to tell our own children. This podcast is about celebrating the life lessons we have learned.

Welcome to iPodYouPodarthroPod radio. The seventh grade Coulee Kids learned about arthropods using a hands-on approach that included the arrival of 18 different species of arthropods in our classroom. After studying the needs of their specific arthropod (to create a habitat and keep it alive), they observed and analyzed the form and function of the species, researched and sometimes witnessed the reproduction and development of the little critters. In this podcast, you will hear original rap songs students created to share their knowledge of the adopted arthropods.

For the first student-created podcast of the year, the Coulee Kids share our impressions of seventh grade. We will tell you what we were worried about when we came to school, embarrassing moments, surprises, and the best and worst of seventh grade. Since this is the opening podcast, it is also the first time many of us have used GarageBand, microphones, digital cameras, iPhoto, or iPods. What is really neat about this podcast is that it was created completely by kids. Our teacher was there if we had questions, but we were the ones that made the decisions and created the final project.

Put on your seventh grade humor hat as you listen to the Coulee Home Companion, a future-age variety show. We consider our program a cross between the Prairie Home Companion and Saturday Night Live. We are reading a novel much like the community of Lake Wobegon called the GIVER by Lois Lois Lowry. Both are considered perfect places to live, but we believe differently! For this podcast, we determined one thing we could do to change our own future and make our world a better place to live for everyone. Cause and effect relationships were also taken into account, as we all know that making one change is can impact everything else in the world. We hope to entertain you as we enlighten you about our city of 2015 and the potential for positive change in our own world.
