Fall Session Week 2

B1-2 Technology:
Our younger students are really doing great with Keyboard Climber, and the olders have started using "home row fingers" with Dance Mat Typing. After keyboarding, we looked at our city of Maryville and our school on Google Maps and each student got to look at their own house and neighborhood with street view-Very exciting! Also a good way to find out who knows their address!

We worked in groups of 4 students. After everyone got to see their house, students enjoyed playing the Trick-or -Treat game (practicing sequencing) and I Spy City (observation skills.)

3-4 Technology:

Students are now working at their own pace to move through the levels of Dance Mat typing. After keyboarding, we worked on a powerpoint of the poem 5 Little Pumpkins, by Cynthia Rylant. We first reviewed how to add slide transitions to each slide. Next, students learned a new skill-custom animation! It was fun making those pumpkins roll out of sight! Some students had enough time to format backgrounds and add extra clip art as well. They did an awesome job-be sure to check them out on portfolio night.
