Chilly Discoveries

As the weather finally changes, so are our explorations in the computer lab.

Kindergarten is using Sunburst software to explore letter sounds.

First Grade is exploring the SHIFT key in Microsoft Word, learning how to search for clip art, and exploring options of how to resize clip art.

Second Grade is learning how to make movies with Kerpoof using a basic timeline to create a fun animation.

Third Grade is gearing up to review their drawing tools and create a snowman. When they finish their snowman, they will export their picture and add a voiceover using Blabberize.

Fourth Grade had fun with their Turkey Tagxedo before the break. They had to type a list of 20 words using Microsoft Word and copy and paste them to create a word cloud. Next they will be creating Microsoft Word "How To's". Each student will learn how to take a screen shot, crop their screen shot, and change the layout of an image.

Please take a few minutes to learn a little bit about Greek Gods and Goddesses.

A Little Break From Technology

Today I got to go on the 3rd Grade field trip to the Dallas Museum of Art. This was my group of experts that I got to travel with. Thank you, Mrs. Waddington.

Keyboarding into November

Kindergarten is working each week to learn new letters on the keyboard. With each letter we learn, we are typing words into an alphabet book in PowerPoint.

First Grade is busy typing short sentences, formatting text, and learning some basic Word functions.

Second Grade is typing sentences about their Greek gods and goddesses. Next week we will use these sentences as our scripts to Blabberize our Greek drawings.

Third Grade is using Dance Mat Typing to work on our keyboarding skills. We are also learning about how to be a great entrepreneur using Ice Cream Truck.

Fourth Grade is reviewing Microsoft Word. We are learning how to "delete" sentences, "enter" to break-up text, highlight one word or multiple words, and all the other basic text formatting functions. Next up, we will cut and paste, and then we will type a short story or poem to test our skills.
