More of What's Happening in Technology!


In Kindergarten we used Educreations, an iPad application, to create a short video telling about the features of the Monsters we drew.  Below is a sample of our videos.

5th Grade is learning how to keep a digital checkbook ledger using Google Sheets. They worked to format their spreadsheets to calculate the money in their accounts. We then played a "Money" game to experience the flow of money in and out of the ledger.

Some Fun Things Happening in Technology

We brought the Google Expedition kits into the school this past week for 2nd, 3rd and 6th Grade.
Sixth Grade traveled to Machu Picchu and also explored Aztec and Mayan Ruins. Third Grade explored different rock formations and took notes to begin their case study.  Crystal Winter's class used the view finders to explore animals in the rainforest and around the Great Barrier Reef. This was the first time that Crystal's class ventured on a virtual field trip - they were so excited!





Our First Grade classes are working on some different ways to research like a scientist. They worked very hard to write their question/wondering, and then used the ipad to research on Kiddle Search Engine for an answer. It was fun learning that an Earthworm has five hearts!
