For our 5th week of the session, and in preparation for next week's Cinco de Mayo, kindergarten made paper mache maracas. Gracias to all our parent helpers!! I would love to be able to post some pictures, but there was no time (and to much ooey gooey) to take them-hopefully I'll get some next week when we paint. In the meantime, they need to dry and be stuffed with semillas before I can attach the stick handle.
B1-2 technology:
The children took a walking field trip to the greenbelt this week, and we discussed the things they would see (and saw) in a pond. We put the ideas into a word document, learned how to copy and paste text (a challenge-left click highlight, right click copy, right click paste-yikes!) and made a "word cloud" with the great site Wordle. The kids had a great time customizing their word cloud and we printed the results to hang in the classrooms.
3-4 technology:
In preparation for Market Day, this week was all about money. We learned about supply and demand with lemonaid stand and saved money with Ed's Bank. The real fun, though, was doing some online shopping with a spreadsheet and $1000 pretend money-there were a few students who didn't quite grasp that "pretend" aspect and wondered when their goodies would be shipped!
