These two groups finished up
a fun month of snow experiments and arctic animals. Kindergarten is busy preparing to log into
the computer. 75% of the students know
their LAST NAME. This is wonderful since
they have to spell it as part of the computer log in! So we started by just seeing who knows their
last name. We also started making log in
cards in 3 out of 5 classes. This week, we will be logging into the
computers! They will go crazy…it is the
most stressful lesson that I teach. 20
Kindergarteners spelling one letter of their first name and their whole LAST NAME
then 2 numbers (just for the user name).
The password is more doable. They
have to learn mouse skills, how to read a keyboard, and patience!

For some science and art, we also talked a little about our
heart. We watch two videos…one from Sci
Show Kids and another from Brain Pop Junior.
They also colored a HEART from Crayola.
First grade has been reviewing how to type in a website address. We usually go through a series of clicks on
my district website. This is a daunting
process of reading letters off the board or waiting for oral review and then
typing them in. We also review what does
“WWW” stand for. One of the cool websites
is STARFALL. This “free-mium” site was
recently updated. The games are new and
different. Overall, the new content is a
hit!
Finally, we also did the same heart videos as kindergarten,
but the first grade coloring sheet was more detailed!
Here are the links to the videos and worksheets!
