Wow, September is almost over and this is the first chance that I have had to update this blog. We’re already busy in the computer lab and all grades have completed their first project of the year in honor of International Dot Day!
After enjoying the book, The Dot, all students created their own dot (or dots). Dot Galleries for Kindergarten through 4th Grade are now available on the Computer Lab Wiki – you can view them individually by going to the Techno Star Scrapbook page and selecting each grade. The galleries for 5th-8th grades will be added soon!
In addition to celebrating International Dot Day, students have also been learning and doing other things in the lab:
- Kindergarten & 1st Grade have done some mouse exercises to learn or practice mouse skills
- Kindergarten through 5th Grade have drawn (or are drawing) self-portraits using KidPix or Paint.
- Middle School is busy reviewing how to format Book Reports and Science Labs and how to create Crossword Puzzles in Excel.
Starting in October, 4th through 8th Grades will be getting their very own class blogs where they will be updating what is happening in the lab themselves!
