The countdown has begun. Only 42 days of school until summer!

Kindergarten is continuing to learn where all the keys on the keyboard are using different keyboarding games. They are also working on Math Skills (100 charts), Numbers Recovered (100's and 10's and 1's), and Lego Builder.

Lego Builder

First Grade is working on keyboarding skills using Alpha Munchers to locate their keys with speed. They are also learning where the punctuation is located on the keyboard by typing short sentences using Microsoft Word.

Second Grade just finished their Monster Exchange project. Each student had to draw a monster using KidPix and then use a graphic organizer to describe their monster. They next swapped graphic organizers and tried to draw that monster based on the description. We have some very great matches.

Third Grade is exporting their first Movie Maker Movies, strengthening keyboarding skills with Dance Mat Typing, and working with Zimmer Twins.

Fourth Grade is using Storybird to write online stories and share them with our Hillcrest friends.

March Into Computer Fun!

Kindergarten used an Excel spreadsheet to make a leprechaun. They learned how to use the fill bucket to fill a "cell". They also played a keyboarding game to help them find the letters on the keyboard.

 First Grade is using different websites to practice their money skills.

Second Grade finished their monster projects. Check back soon for some fun examples!

Third Grade made some AWESOME rocket covers. Look for them at the launch this Friday.

Fourth Grade is learning about Internet Safety. They had to watch several videos and create a video, poster, or comic strip to teach a concept about being safe on the computer.
