First+Grade

So very proud of how well the first grade students performed in class this year!

Many of our projects utilized Pixie, a drawing software. We worked on projects that covered topics from their regular class curriculums. For example, the students created posters to show the difference between "needs" and "wants" that coincided with their science curriculum. They also created their own food pyramids as well.

The first grade students also worked on their computer use through various lessons and activities. Some of the concepts they learned this year were:


 * creating folders
 * saving files
 * visiting websites (web address bar)
 * use of peripherals such as headphones and microphones
 * proper typing form:
 * home row keys
 * finger positioning
 * use of Typing Ace online program
