Winter Session Week 6

Kindergarten Spanish:
This week, in honor of Dia de San Valentin (Valentine's Day), we added in a new body part-corazon (heart). We also learned te amo (I love you) and beso(kiss). We used the promethean board to check out Dora's lost valentine and make a card that we printed out for the Kindergarten teachers. As the students worked on a coloring sheet at the tables, they came up one group at a time to help make Besitos(little kisses), a traditional Mexican sugar cookie. The majority of the class agreed "Me gusta!" Here is the recipe in case you want to make them at home.

Mix 2 sticks of butter, 2 cups of sugar, 2 cups of flour, ¼ tsp. baking soda, and 1 egg. Roll dough into small balls then roll in cinnamon sugar. Bake for 10 min. or so at 350 until the cookies crack.

B1-2 Technology:
This week students put together everything we have learned this session so far to make a Valentine powerpoint called Things I Love. Students wrote text, formatted font,inserted clipart, and did slide transitions. Way to go! Remember, they are just in first and second grade!

3-4 Technology:
The internet is not just for games and research-it is also a tool for collaboration. This week we helped out Mrs. Golubic's First Grade Class at Market Street Elementary School in Boardman, Ohio with a project they are doing to find out classes favorite winter olympic sports. We spent some time exploring the winter olympic site and then created an excel graph of our favorite sports-snowboarding and figureskating seem to be the winners at Fort Craig!
