Lower School Computing!

Kindergarten through 3rd grade classes are scheduled in the Lower School Computer Lab three times weekly.

2nd and 3rd graders go as a class, while kindergarten and first graders send only 1/2 class at a time. Classes are taught by the homeroom teacher with help from our instructional specialist. Teachers meet once weekly with the instructional specialist to plan integration of classroom studies and computer tools. This is also a time when teachers may ask for instruction on unfamiliar skills.

 

First graders learn the art of
DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY!
(Then they will learn what to do with those digital photographs!)

First graders also searched for Viet Nam using GoogleEarth and saw a GPS location of the country.

 

 

Sometimes in computer . . . . a person is just stumped!!
