First Grade

Every week in computer class, time is allotted for some type of computer skill lesson.  In our society today all of our children seem to be well versed in using their tablet or ipad. One of the special keys the kindergarten class learned about was the backspace key, so our children know how to erase a simple mistake. However,  this week in our first grade classes we just talked about 'editing' and how we should always 'edit' our work before we turn an assignment in to our teacher.  Using the delete key, the backspace key and learning how to correct our mistakes when we see that red line under a word can always be helpful.  We all make mistakes--having the students know how easy it is to correct will make their word processing assignments so much easier.

Have a blessed weekend.

Kindergarten Computers

These past few weeks have been so busy for the Kindergarten students.  Even though several hours were spent practicing for Grandparent's Day, the children still had time to complete their Safety Booklet. Their booklet consisted of typing out a parent's cell number and typing their address. Each typed page was completed with their own illustration.  All of our students were able to complete this assignment. It is so important that our children know how they can reach their parents at any given time.

Throughout the year, we have also been working on a sound booklet.  Both of these assignments will be sent home shortly.

Have a safe weekend.

Pre-K Computer Class

The Pre-Kindergarten classes are eager for computer class and definitely know the procedures we practice each week.  

We always begin the class with the nursery rhyme video of the week.  Looking at their faces when this is on the overhead screen is adorable....Our next activity is reviewing their letter of the week and coloring which is then printed.

Easter computer activities have been our theme the past 2 class periods.  The children have colored eggs, put stickers on colored eggs, and even made magic eggs...and amazingly...there was no paint spilled anywhere.:)

I hope all of you have a wonderful Easter holiday.
