Fourth Grade Computers

Fourth graders actually come twice for now to the computer lab.  On Monday, we are primarily working on keyboarding....there are some excellent keyboarding students in this class..I remind them every week that this is a life skill that will help them so much in the years to come.

Also we are working on our Google slide presentations 'About Me'...Learning about animations and transitions makes their presentations even more interesting.....I am anxious for the students to start presenting!! They are working hard and I appreciate them.

Have a wonderful weekend.

Pre-School 2 Year Olds

Well..what can I say...not much except that they are pretty adorable...
  I always start the class by calling each of their names...they love that...and then I show a short video of the nursery rhyme they have had that week....Next I try to show some pictures of their Bible story for the week or perhaps even the farm animals they have been talking about.  Finally comes the tablets......I show them which app we will be using for the day....that does not mean they stay on that app, but we are trying.  Even at 2 years old, their little fingers know exactly what to do...we are only into our second 9 weeks, but I feel we are learning procedures.. Most of them even know my name.

Again....they are adorable and are our future Seniors at
 Ezell-Harding.

Have a great fall weekend.

Pre-School 3 Computer Class

We continue to make progress....this is the first week of our 2nd 9 weeks of school and the children were so quiet coming into the lab that I did not even hear them....that speaks volumes for their teachers.  They are learning procedures and correct behavior...which is major in any classroom, but especially in the lab.  The letter 'G' was introduced in their classroom this week, so I am able to reinforce that introduction in the lab by showing a quick video from Turtlediary on letters.  We always color that letter from that website and print their work.
Sorting and patterning is also presented  in the classroom which we are able to reinforce with our websites in the lab.
 A very fun week for the 3 year old class...glad we are back from break.

Have a wonderful weekend.
