Kid Count

This month the Bridges Math Program "jazzed up" the kid count we usually do. The idea is to count the number of kids in the class, then talk about 1 less, 1 more, etc. This is our dynamic class making it their own!

Keyboarding

Greetings and Happy New Year!
We have had a great couple days adjusting back to the routine of school! The children were so excited to see each other and share the things they did over break.

Today we went to the Technology Lab. We have been a few times this year, learning how to log in and out, and children have been using a math program in the classroom. We will now start going about once per week. The program we learned today is called Type to Learn Junior. It is a keyboarding program that will teach the students to use both hands to type, and where to find the letters of the alphabet. It also helps children practice their letter identification skills, and matching uppercase to lowercase letters! It is fun for the kids as there are many practice activities that feel like games to them.
