Students in grade 1 are using MS paint to diagram the life cycle of the plant. This is part of their grade 1 curriculum. In the technology lab, they are demonstrating that they know how to use the shape tools, fill bucket, select tool and text tool. They are making great progress!

What A Great Start!

Our first month of school has been fantastic! I was very pleased to see how much students have remembered over the summer. First graders have been able to remember how to log on and our fourth graders have learned how to create their very own passwords! We will be launching into Internet Safety for all grades in the next few weeks. Netsmartzkids.org is our favorite place to visit and learn about Internet Safety. Students will learn the importance of not talking to strangers online. They will also learn to never share their personal information online and what to do if something online makes them feel scared, uncomfortable or confused! We do activities, watch many videos and play the Internet Safety games on this site during our weekly technology class. Should you have any questions about this curriculum please contact me and/or visit www.netsmartzkids.org!
