Pre-School 2 year olds

Adorable is watching the 2 year old class walk down the hall on their rope with handles. Of course, this is a safety measure to keep the children walking all in the same direction etc.  Their little eyes are wide open just looking at their surroundings.  They have been going to  chapel, but are just now feeling comfortable venturing out too much further.  They actually made it all the way to the computer lab this week.  They sat on the floor while I demonstrated the 2 apps we were going to play.  This procedure is all new to them, but they did great.  ...now to actually keep them on the app that we are working on for the day is the next big challenge. :)

They are precious!!...and I am so thankful for these children.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday.

2nd Grade Computers

  The students work with their tablets almost daily in the classrooms, and occasionally the children bring them to the lab.  This week we started working with an app called Book Creator.  Collaboration is the term used when we are exploring and investigating something new and sharing ideas. This is exactly what the students did with this app. They were allowed  to take pictures, write and illustrate, add sound, and then compose a small booklet.  It was so fun to see students offer help when we ran into a problem.  The students were then able to share their story.
  Our next adventure with Book Creator will be to coordinate with their Social Studies curriculum. The students will research a topic, add pictures, and text from their study. Learning is so fun!!! 

Enjoy this beautiful day.

3rd Grade Computers

We are thankful for our blessings everyday of the year, but around Thanksgiving we always seem to be even more aware of these blessings.  We combined a word processing lesson about making columns on google docs with listing items we were thankful for. We verbally discussed many of their suggestions, then each child was asked to list as many as they could in the allotted time. The students also added a Thanksgiving theme clip art for their assignment.  Please check out the 3rd graders work in the hall outside of the lab.  ....I am very thankful for these students and their hearts.

Have a good weekend.
