The End of September - (26th-30th)

Kindergarten - We've been working on fundamental math concepts and thinking skills with Millie's Math House, and we've been exploring sounds and letters with Bailey's Book House. These software programs are also helping us with our mouse-clicking skills.

First and Second Grade - Did you know that you don't have to use KidPix to make a picture? This week we learned about an online site where we can create pictures, tell stories, and spell words. It's called Kerpoof and it's a lot of fun!

Third Grade - We just finished our last drawing lesson. We can move, rotate, and group objects! We can even duplicate them, send them to the front/back, and delete them. Each third grader is using our drawing tools to create a pumpkin with attitude! Check back soon to see our creations.

Fourth Grade - Do you know how to animate or add a voice recording and music? Join us in fourth grade as we create an interactive haunted house and explore animations, voice recordings, and music. We will also learn how to take screen shots and use free clip art from the web. It's going to be a spooktacular good time! We are also working on our keyboarding skills with Mavis Beacon.
