January Update

We have been working hard in the lab this month! Take a look at what each grade is focusing on during this chilly month!

Kindergarten: We have begun some word processing skills and the students have practiced typing their names in Microsoft Word. They also learned how to change the font, size, and color of their text. Next up, we'll practice typing simple sentences!

First Grade: Students have been reviewing their weekly Spelling words by typing sentences on Microsoft Word and practicing on www.spellingcity.com!

Second Grade: We just finished typing paragraphs teling about what we did over the winter break. Students formatted their text, ran a Spell Check, and added related clip art.

Third Grade: We have been getting familiarized with using our new Google accounts! Students explored the Drive and created a Google Doc which they shared with Mrs. Crowley. Next up, students will be creating travel brochures about a community of their choosing (rural, urban, or suburban).

So many fabulous things are happening in the Media Center Lab! Check back for more projects soon!

Christmas Recap Green Screen Video

Before Christmas we began a green screen video project in 1st Grade. The students created pictures on Tux Paint which we used as a backdrop for our filming. Using the app Veescope Live, Mrs. Crowley filmed the students in front of a green screen and then replaced the green with the actual picture the students created. Take a look at one of the finshed products. The other 2 first grade videos will be posted soon!
