In the Computer Lab

Because of the short week this week and the week we come back from Christmas break I will be able to combine lessons to cover each class so no one misses out.

In Kindergarten we will start out the class with Starfall doing level 7. We will be reading "Pete's Sheep," learning "th," "double e," and "ink" word endings. We will then go to "Literactive" and do some activities with matching. Check out Literactive for many fun educational games for PreK to First grade.

First grade will start out the class practicing typing skills on BBC Dance Mat. We will then go to a program called Riverdeep to play "Reading Builder Practice." To list just a few items that will be covered... short vowels, word families, beginning blends and ending blends.

Second grade will start out the class practicing typing skills on BBC Dance Mat. We will then begin working on a PowerPoint with a Geography project they have been working on in class. This will be a two week activity and when finished I will post some of their work on our blog.

Third and Fourth grade will start out the class practicing typing skills on Type To Learn. We will then be learning the basics of using Excel. I have a few activities we will do in class the next two weeks. Check out an example of one of the activities we will be doing... "Come to the Show."
