Elementary Library

No classes came to library this week.  They all went to Guidance with Mrs. Coleman.

Have a great Fall Break!

2nd Grade Computers

The second graders know our procedures and are able to come quietly in the room as we begin class.  After a fun video of Brainpop.jr---this week was about Fall--and a few minutes of discussion of this season, we began our class.  This week's lesson concentrated on learning new word processing skills in class.  The students were to list things they liked.  Centering their title, putting in capital letters when appropriate, and learning about the number bullets were skills that were taught.  The children were able to choose an image and insert into their paper....remembering to resize. All of the students completed the assignment, their documents were printed and are actually in the hall.

Two great classes---Mrs. Frankum and Mrs. Jones

Have a great weekend.

1st Grade Computers

A special time each week is when the First Graders come to the lab.  'Confidence' is totally displayed by these students.  They know exactly what our procedures are, so our class time is spent wisely. After a brief discussion of the 'history of computers', we had fun learning all about Google Drawing.  Making and coloring shapes, and drawing fun characters with our shapes added to the excitement in the lab. They were also able to use the Text box for writing their name. These fun drawings are displayed in the hall this week.

These children are excited about learning and continue to amaze me with their creativity.

Have a great weekend.

Kindergarten Computers

My Kindergarten classes are so mature and totally know the correct procedures to come into the lab.  After a few moments, we enjoy whatever Moby on Brainpop has to offer for the day...always great life lessons!!
For class, we are learning some of the special keys on the keyboard and their functions as it relates to understanding  word processing....Enter, Spacebar, Backspace, Delete, and the Esc button. The children color a worksheet to remind them of the lesson of the day.
The students are always directed to a website and this week www.starfall.com was our choice.  They reviewed the ABC letter sounds.

Enjoy your families over the Labor Day weekend.
