October Updates

We have been hard at work this past month in the Media Center Lab.

Each class has completed their first Digital Citizenship lesson for the year. Digital Citizenship refers to being safe and respectful when using the computer, especially the internet. Kindergarten and First Grade talked about general rules for internet safety. Second Grade discussed keeping personal information private and creating safe usernames. Third Grade connected the responsibilities they have in the real world to those they should keep in mind when on the internet. For more information, lesson plans, and videos please visit www.commonsensemedia.org.

This week in the lab....

Kindergarten will work on Kidspiration to create graphic organizers with pictures that begin with the first letter of their first and last names.

First Grade created pumpkins on ABCya and then wrote sentences to describe them. www.abcya.com

Second Grade finished a dog research project connected to a story they read in their classroom.

Third Grade went on Halloween Web Hunt and learned facts about mummies, vampire bats, and Frankenstein. http://www.scholastic.com/teachers/article/halloween-web-hunt
