First Grade
Our first graders are preparing for the wonderful spring event that takes place every year around this time...Mother's Day! They are working hard to write, type, and then illustrate poems using Doozla, and I know all our guests (on May 8th) will be pleased and touched by their work. Students who complete their work in the computer lab have been honing their geography skills by playing games involving the identification of the 50 states. Check out our links here.
Second Grade
Our current project in second grade computer has a dual purpose: 1) to get the children using proper finger placement and proper posture while keyboarding and 2) to expose the children to the application, Pages, for word processing purposes since they will be using it heavily in grades 3, 4, and 5. They are working on creating "All About Me" projects that list and explain various details about themselves, their hobbies, their favorites, photos of them, etc. Stay turned for their finished work...but while you wait, here's a sneak peek of a finished product:
