I am so proud of the emerging keyboarding skills these little guys are showing! Youngers are doing very well with "home row fingers" and the olders are starting to progress at their own pace through the levels of Dance Mat. This week we participated in another project for the Winter Wonderland Wiki called Mitten Math. We watched a story video of Jan Brett reading her book, The Mitten.
We reviewed the sequence of events in the story with a type of Thinking Map called a Flow Map and students completed a math PowerPoint based on the story. Any extra time at the end of class was spent with our favorite snowflake creator, Make a Flake.
3-4 Technology:
We are starting to get some members in the "Underwear Club." When students pass level 10 of Type to Learn, I restart them at level 1 but give them our unique keyboard covers-boxers (unused, of course!).
After keyboarding, we reviewed what makes a quality blog comment with this wonderful video by Mrs. Yollis and her star bloggers.
We spent some time adding our own quality comments to our friends' blogs and then learned how to use Image Chef to make a fun blog post about Winter. Here is an example.
