4th & 5th graders will be learning to email for the next 8 weeks. We will practice emailing our teacher, each other, and the 5th graders may even get epals from another school! We are finishing our units on cyberbullying and truth on the internet this week.
We are learning this week about internet safety. One of the websites we will look at is www.infinitelearninglab.org. This site uses the lovable cat, Garfield, to teach children the do’s and dont’s of internet safety. Go to the blog roll on the right and click on Internet Safety for more information, fun, and games!
This week some of the grades will be using a program called “Wordle” to make some really cool posters. We’ll be discussing adjectives that describe us and using them to make door posters. Next week, all 5th graders will be allowed to bring their technology “gadgets” to school on the day they have Technology Class.
We are continuing our work with computer graphics with Story Maker and ArtPad this week.
This week, the 4th and 5th graders are making movies with Kerpoof! Look out Hollywood! 1st,2nd & 3rd will be creating art projects with Kerpoof. Kindergarten will be using Kneebouncers website for some fun learning.
