K-1- Students are learning about parts of a book, how to check out books at their reading levels, and what types of books exist which include genre, purpose, and styles.
2-3- Students are learning about using the library system including the dewey decimal system to search for books that fit their reading levels, interest levels, and books that help them to meet their Accelerated reading targets.
-Students are also using the computer to work on their home row keys as they are learnign the proper form and method of how to type properly. Proper typing skills wil help them as they begin to research and learn where are safe and effective places to find information on the internet.
4-5- Students are learning safe and reliable places to find research information that they are looking for on the internet. They are learning how to sort through unreliable sources and identify resources that will help them to begin to research topics in the near future for projects related to the classroom.
6-7- Students are learning how to incorporate new technology and ideas in daily life activities. These include working on projects on things in life such as high school, college, and career research. While the students dive into those subjects they will be incorporating new technology into their existing knowledge framework such as wordprocessing, drafting, global web based navigation, and presenting information.
7-8- Students are starting to learn programming using Scratch. Scratch is a simple programming language that uses block command structures to create fully functional mini applications. These applications can be digital stories, animations, and full games. Scratch is a program sponsored and developed by MIT. The students will be working on creating an aquarium, maze, statistical yes/no program, and multi dimensional simulation game.
DONATE IF YOU CAN.
I'm always in need of Kleenex, hand sanitizer, and Chlorox wipes. Also if you have a pair of athletic shoes in good used condition, please consider donating them to the gym.
Thank you,
Mr. Zieba
