Kindergarten: This week, our kindergarten students have their own "K" folder on the desktop. We are logging into the computer and then double clicking this folder to get to many fun activities.
First Grade: The first grade students are experiencing some fun brain puzzles on knowledge adventure's website. Here are links to three of them:
Monkey Banana, Tower Blocks, and Memory. Another one that a student discovered is Count the Cubes, which is awesome for spatial sense.
Second Grade: I decided that the third grade lesson from last week was so successful, I wanted to try it with second grade. We are creating a brainstorm map on bubbl.us on everything they have learned so far in Science Specials class, and then once recycling is discussed, we move on to playing Michael Michael Go Recycle. They LOVE this game, and I hope the idea of picking up litter (and of course not being a litterbug in the first place) is wearing off!
Third Grade: This week I decided to give the third grade students some experience with Microsoft Word, specifically font style, color, and sizes, by typing words from their current social studies and science units. I am also encouraging them to practice typing with more than 1 or 2 fingers... no hunt and peck! :)
Fourth Grade: We are moving on to commenting on blogs, and discussing "netiquette" and the proper way to comment. We are also discussing not putting personal information on the Internet and why that is important. Most fourth grade students have really enjoyed blogging and have taken it to the next level with many blog posts at home.
Fifth grade: We are FINALLY finishing up with presenting our Power Point presentations, and we will be moving on to blogging.
Sixth Grade: We are finishing up with a week on blogging, and will be moving on to photo editing next week followed by inserting those photos into Windows Movie Maker.
