Summer Session Week 6

B1-2 Technology:
After our keyboarding practice, we talked about how families help each other and watched this great video of a grownup squirrel trying to teach baby squirrel how to jump over a wall-lots of discussion about perserverence and sometimes needing help as the students related it to learning to walk, ride a bike, swing, etc.

The students used the program Kidspiration to create a "Helping Hands" project as they dragged pictures into the appropriate sections and resized them.
Any extra time was spent with our great math and language arts skill practice program, Education City


3-4 Technology:

We have talked about exploring on the internet this session and discussing avatars, safety rules, and procedures, we discussed how we also explore and go on adventures with books. We watched this short video clip called The Book Squad.

After the video, students used Storyjumper to start creating their own book of adventures. Students imported their own picture into the book and are working on adding props and text. We are excited! When we are done, parents will be able to view their child's book and even order it as a published book if they want.
