This month has been an exciting one in the computer lab! Here is the super-quick-nutshell version of what we've been up to lately:
- Lower Elementary students have been visiting twice a week, on Monday and Friday afternoons. From now on I'll see them on Mondays only. We developed great skills - using the mouse, printing, navigating kids' websites, turning on the computer, plugging in headphones, and adjusting volume - and we can do it all on our own! We made our very own crowns with Princess Presto's Spelling Bee, read Stellaluna on the computer, learned fun bat facts, and read books using the TAG readers.
- Middle Elementary students have started learning how to type!
- Upper Elementary students have been learning about the Gaggle accounts. We also completed fun activities to reinforce classroom lessons about Jamestown and Simple and Complex Machines
- Middle School students completed the cybersafety unit, in which we learned about preventing cyberbullying, making safe choices, and being mindful of what we post on profiles and other online places.
- The Japanese Culture Friday Group played Dodgebee, tried delicious foods (we even cooked the Oden! - a fish, tofu, and vegetable stew) and learned about Shinto.
I'm so looking forward to the Thanksgiving Luncheon on Wednesday. I think I'll bring in some fudge, made from Grandma's favorite recipe, for the potluck. Please remember that we are dismissing at 1:00pm from Hollins University!
