Announcements
Here’s what’s happening in the computer lab this month.
Kindergarten students will learn about balancing their time with technology and how to walk away when it is time to stop. They will learn how to “Pause, Breath, & Finish Up” when it is time to stop and transition to another activity. Look for their drawings that show how they say goodbye to technology coming home soon.
First-grade students have been working hard learning how to use the keyboard using the Keyboarding Without Tears program. This month they will learn about some of the special keys such as “shift”, “spacebar”, and “Backspace” as they complete a couple of short typing assignments.
Second-grade students are doing a wonderful job with keyboarding! They have completed some short typing assignments and are learning to consistently use the special keys on the keyboard as well as punctuation. This month they will complete a short typing activity to show what they are thankful for.
Third-grade students will wrap up their unit on Google Docs this month by learning how to create lists, as well as how to use other text formatting tools. They have already learned so much about formatting text including color, size, style and highlighting as well as how to add pictures to a Doc. Later this month they will complete a Thanksgiving project to show what they are thankful for.
Fourth graders have completed 3 units in the “Be Internet Awesome” curriculum. They have been doing such a wonderful job working collaboratively and independently to complete the activities in the units and will finish up this month by creating an “All About Me” slide that will be displayed on their lockers. They have especially loved the “Kindness 101” videos that are shown with each lesson. All of the videos that they have seen, can be found in their Google Classroom.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to send me an e-mail.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
