Fall Session Week 8

Kindergarten Spanish:
We've expanded our familia once again to include our mascotas, our pets. Our familias have lots of gatos and perros, and even some pez and serpientes! We read My Pig Amarillo by Satomi Ichikawa and made a mascota minibook. We also watched a PBSkids episode of Maya and Miguel where they figure out what to do with their mascota, their parrot Paco, while at school all day.

B1-2 technology:
Instead of keyboard climber, this week we had a new keyboarding game-alph munchies! Since we've been talking alot about healthy food and food groups, we did some microsoft word formatting fun on a paragraph called "Eating a Rainbow." Students moved the title to the center, changed font sizes and styles, and turned color words such as green peas and red apples to the right font color. Lots of fun! We finished class by making a holiday picture in paint with a text box. These pictures will be combined into a class holiday project to be emailed home next week as our present to our families.

3-4 technology:
A little break from Type to Learn-two keyboarding games, Keyman and Spider Typer. Then, finally, after much anticipation, it was time to redraw our partner monsters and see how they did with redrawing ours. I think our Fort Craig students wrote very good descriptions and had good results. After reading a few of our partner descriptions, they realized the need for clear directions! Everything can be seen at our monster gallery on the internet. Extra time was spent on Study Island.
