2nd Grade Computers

  Eating healthy is challenging for any age group. One responsibility we have as teachers is to educate our children concerning nutrition. Every year the website entitled Myplate.gov presents fun and informative information about our health.  Like I tell my students...God gave us 1 body...and it is our responsibility to care for our body.  This lesson encourages so much discussion...which is good.
  The second grade classes had fun with Google drawing dividing a plate  into the different food groups and inserting a picture from that group. Drawing the plate, inserting text, searching for the appropriate food group and resizing were part of this assignment. Then the  activity was then printed. The students did great!

The sun is shining...have a great weekend.

Third Grade Computers

Tuesday afternoon is always a fun time when the 3rd grade class comes to the lab.  Our first activity is keyboarding. The students have mastered the home row keys, so after Christmas we began learning the entire keyboard.  The website we are using is www.mikids.com.  Gradually over the past several weeks, the students have become quite proficient in their keyboarding skills. Of course, this is a continual process and skills will improve year after year.

The past several weeks, we have worked on coding, making a flyer, reviewing solids, liquids and gases and of course websites that can improve our math and language arts skills.

Google sheets will be introduced this next class period with making a spreadsheet using Skittles. We will also make a chart from our data and print this activity.  The fun part about this activity is receiving a skittle as we leave class.

A really respectful class.

Have a lovely spring weekend.

The NEWS and all that’s news from the mysterious world of elementary physical education at Ezell-Harding Christian School.

August 13,2018

This fall, Ezell-Harding students have a lot to look forward to as

their physical education classes begin. I am writing this blog as a preview of the activities planned for the fall semester. Here is a sample of what your child can look forward to:

• SAVE THE STATUES (I previously said mysterious world of PE)
• SPEEDWAY (Hint-not for turtles)
• STEAL THE BACON (Not your traditional game of pork)
• THROW OUT THE TRASH (A favorite  returns with a wrinkle)
• ELIMINATOR (Need I say more?)
• SECRET AGENT (If I told you it wouldn’t be a secret)
• FABULOUS FRIDAYS (Oldies but Goodies and I am not referring to yours truly)
• STAR WARS TAG (“These aren”t the droids your looking for”)
• FRISBEE DODGE BALL (My dog Lacy can play this game!)
• MUSICAL HOOPS (No chairs required)
• NAME IT AND CLAIM IT (??????)
• PLAYGROUND (Everyone’*s favorite weather permitting)

This is just a sample of the physical exercise that is in store for

Ezell-Harding PE students this fall.

Until next time “KEEP ON PLAYING.”

PK Computers

  Normal procedures for the PK classes continues each class period.The children enter the lab and sit on the floor facing the projector screen.  We always start the class with the nursery rhyme video, which this week was 'Hickory Hickory Dock.' Looking at their faces while this video is playing is priceless.
  Our next activity is to review their letter for the week through a website entitled Turtlediary.  The children will color a picture on the computer that corresponds with that letter.
  Then the students were introduced to the arrow keys on the keyboard which enabled the children to work a maze activity on www.belmikri.com.  There was a mouse trying to get to a block of cheese....fun. 
  Finally, practicing their 'ABC's' was fun using a dot-to-dot activity on this website.    ....Precious class.

Have a wonderful weekend.

The PS-3 classes definitely know the correct procedures to come into the lab.  This week our curriculum guide had our video as 'The Three Little Bears'...I love to see their eyes watching this video.
After that our letter of the week was 'T' and Turtlediary offers a quick review of our sounds plus illustrations.

Even though Easter was technically last Sunday, we continued to celebrate Spring with coloring Easter eggs.  Mouse skills  are reinforced on www.Internet4classrooms.com with  fun activities for the students.  They colored their eggs beautifully, and frequently I would hear 'I did it.' Sweet sweet children.

Spring will come...eventually 😊

Looking forward to our Spring Sprint tomorrow.
