Kindergarten

Our Kindergarten children bring an abundance of enthusiasm and curiosity to everything they do. The computer lab is just one place where they are free to explore, discover, and develop.

Computer Lab-Classroom Connection
Activities in the computer lab correlate with instruction in the regular classroom to reinforce content and enhance the curriculum. Students work on creating their own patterns and designs using Kidspiration. Listen to what these children have to say about their designs. media type="custom" key="5408199" align="center"

Digital Storytelling
Students in Kindergarten created a group story. They voted on a story starter, then began to brainstorm characters and the beginning, middle, and end of their story as a whole group. I wrote down their sentences, then typed the story. Each student was given one or two sentences and they created an illustration using [|TuxPaint] to go along with that sentence. The pictures were put into Photo Story 3, then the students recorded their voices. Each child's voice was recorded as they repeated the sentence that I read to them. The entire class joined in on special sound effects in the story. They voted on the music for their story.
