Sixth and Seventh Weeks

Kindergarten has been working hard on sharpening their mouse skills and learning the names of the parts of a computer. We sing "Old MacDonald Had a Computer" and "The Mouse Song" each time they come for a lesson in the main lab. We're also learning to independently find the kindergarten blog and become familiar with some of the educational sites in the link lists.

First grade LOVES Discovery Education! We are using Discovery Education Science to learn about and explore weather this week for their upcoming unit in Science. Last week, first grade used Publisher to complete an informational brochure template for their writing performance assessment.

Sixth and Seventh Weeks

We've been busy in the computer lab learning Word 2007! Second through fifth grade students have used spell check, formatted text (center align, bold, font size, tab to indent), saved, and printed their work. Using Word helps us to edit and publish our writing pieces.
