Even though it's snowing outside this 13th of March, we are all still looking forward to Spring Break coming up soon!
Our K-2 buildings are headed into some technology lessons soon. Kindergartners will look at what plants and animals need to survive and create some Tux Paint (a free download at http://www.tuxpaint.org/) and Storyboard That (free online at http://www.storyboardthat.com/) projects around the concepts. First grade will be using Write Comics (http://www.writecomics.com/) as a fun way to type dialogue while second grade will be learning to use Google Slides as they research an animal as a class and learn some basic research skills.
Third and fourth graders are finishing up units on teeth and volcanoes (respectively), including a variety of research and information technology skills (and a touch of spreadsheets). Fifth graders are concluding units of poetry and drama as well as a web site evaluation skills lesson. We're finishing up March before Spring Break with some PARCC testing tech skills to assure students can easily navigate the online test.
