Summer Session Week 4

Kindergarten Spanish:
We added something new to our class starters this week-a game called Me llamo Fred. This game, which is great practice with Como te llamas (What's your name) and Me llamo (my name is), has been a favorite in the past. Student 1 sits backwards in the front of the room with eyes closed, while Student 2 sneeks up behind. Student 1 asks, "Como te llamas?" and Student 2 answers in Spanish with a silly name and a disguised voice before returning to his seat. Student 1 then guesses donde esta (where is) Fred. I'll try to get some video next week. We also learned the days of the week, buenos dias (good morning) and buenas noches (good night) and played a fun game waking people up. Our amigos discussion expanded to community helpers this week with a story called Tito, the Firefighter by Tim Hoppey.

B1-2 Tech:
The students are getting much better with keyseeker! This time, instead of drawing on their hands, I put purple and green smiley faces on the monitor as a reminder. Remember, this can be practiced at home by going to the ikeepbookmarks link. Since B1-2 is learning about ants, we discussed the different parts of an ant and make ant pictures using our Paint program. Their amazing results are published above as a slideshare presentation.


3-4 Tech:
After Type to Learn, we had fun with formatting! Students used Microsoft Word to type their name, move it left-center-right, change font size, color, style and add clipart that represents their own interests. When the final product was saved in our individual tech folders, the students practiced single and double mouse clicks with some mouse fun games.
