Happy May!
Pre-K - Pre-1st Grade
We watched a BrainPopJr video about capital and lowercase letters, and then we practiced using our fingers on the Doodle Buddy app to write both our first and last names with the right capital and lowercase letters.
Kindergarten
We played several games that have reinforced our patterns, colors, and shapes knowledge. We also practiced our keyboarding skills.
Pre-1st
We used ABCya's StoryMaker to create a picture and a sentence explaining what we already know about the ocean, since pre-1st will be completing an ocean unit this month. We also practiced our keyboarding skills and then went on a virtual field trip to the San Diego Zoo!
1st - 3rd Grade
1st
We learned how to use two new programs this week: Photo Booth and Microsoft Word. In Word, we practiced typing sentences, highlighting text, changing the font, size and color of the text.
2nd
We practiced keyboarding skills and also went on a virtual field trip to the San Diego Zoo!
3rd
We were introduced to the Ozobots this week! We learned and practiced using paper and markers to draw codes that the Ozobot can read and respond to.
4th - 5th Grade
This week we began editing some stories in iMovie for our brand new newscast. The fourth graders came up with names for the newscast and the entire school voted. The final consensus: Paladin Nation News. The students (along with Mrs. Fickley and I) are working diligently to complete the first newscast by the end of the school year! It will be a rough first cut, but it's a preview of the amazing work that the current 4th graders will be working on next year. More information to come.
