Starting the New Year

Kindergarten is learning how to resize objects in Kerpoof's Make a Picture and using Kerpoof's Spell a Picture to create an Arctic scene. They are also exploring the snow to create sounds, snowflakes, shapes, and ice towers with Snow Friends.

1st Grade is learning how to move things in Microsoft Word, highlight single words, and type Upper case and Lower case letters using their shift key. They can use their scroll bar, zoom in and out on a document, undo their mistakes, and type simple sentences.

2nd Grade is using REFLEX math to enhance their math skills.

3rd Grade is studying geometry and shapes in STEM. In computer class we made some fun animals out of shapes. Next week, we will tour the school and take pictures of the geometry that surrounds us.

4th Grade is learning how to edit photos with Adobe Photoshop Elements. They are having so much fun! They are using free pics from Pics4Learning and editing them with basic filters and enhancements.
