Welcome Back Kindergarten!

We are so excited to welcome a new group of amazing Kindergartners to TES!  

For our FIRST Friday Focus class we are going to 

review Computer Care with our new cart of laptops!

Practice TouchPad Mouse Skills

Digital Canvas: Paint the Story

Focus Friday brought a new group of Kindergarteners into the Library for some touchpad/mouse skills.  Learning to navigate a mouse on a laptop can be tricky for little ones and learning to "paint" was challenging but a great success!  We cannot wait to practice our mouse skills some more next week!

I really like this version because it is animated with images 

that the kids can "paint" on ABCya.

After the Video Story students visited ABCya Paint

to create their own scene from Jack and the Beanstalk!

What fun! Check out our creations! 

 

Second Grade PowToons!

Our second graders added the app PowToon Edu to their Google Drives this week and created presentations about the Life Cycle of a Deer!  They all did an awesome job navigating this digital resource!

Some students even added their own recordings!

Editors at work!

Check out their work - WOW these are 2nd Graders!!!
