Pre-K Computers

Two of the Pre-K classes are scheduled for the computer lab on Monday morning....what a great way to start the week.  Mrs. Stephens class comes to the lab on Friday...and so that is a great way to end the week.  😊  The children know their procedures which is to enter the lab and sit on the floor in front of the screen.  We start the class by showing a short video and this week the video was the story of The Giving Tree. ..Sweet story.. 
Our review letter this week was the letter N.  The children always color this letter on the computer...
We then were able to go to www.sheppardsoftware.com and color different habitat scenes.  The student's motor skills with the mouse are improving each week.

Have a wonderful and safe Thanksgiving holiday.

PK-3 Computer Class

Both PK-3 classes were ready for computer class this week.  They are familiar with our routine coming to the lab and sitting quietly on the floor. We always show a short video of the nursery rhyme that is curriculum based.  This week was  'The Three Billy Goat Gruff''... adorable.  We reviewed the letter G  and colored our letter from www.Internet4classroom.com.  They totally understand upper case and lower case....Next we concentrated on the color brown and used www.sheppardsoftware.com for our activity.  Later the children reviewed all the colors.

Sweet classes.

Have a wonderful fall weekend.

PS-2 Computer Class

Visiting the PS-2 classroom on Friday morning is a special way to end the week. They are always eager and enthusiastic about any activity we have ...especially the tablets.  The class procedures are always the same...a short story...their curriculum video for the week, some mild physical activity and then to the tables to work on certain tablet applications.  Today Turkey puzzles were introduced and I was amazed how quickly the children were able to work the puzzles with little or no assistance.  Their 2 classroom teachers are amazing.  This is a sweet precious group of children..

Have a great weekend.........almost turkey time.
