$2750!!! Can you believe it?

Kindergarten: We did another listening activity.  We worked with the paint brush tool to create a landscape.  The students were asked to add a mountain, cloud, trees, sun, and rainbow to their work.  When they completed that, we erased the screen and they were asked to find certain elements within the paint brush tool and add them to the screen.

1st Grade: We talked about viewing our images using the column view of the operating system.  The students had to go find their folders, open them, and change the view setting.  They then chose their favorite image and wrote down the name of the file.  We then went to kid pix and imported pictures.  Next week, they will import some more pictures then organize their work.

2nd Grade: We talked about viewing our images using the column view of the operating system.  The students had to go find their folders, open them, and change the view setting.  They then chose their favorite image and wrote down the name of the file.  We then went to kid pix and imported pictures.  Next week, they will import some more pictures then organize their work.

3rd Grade: The students found more website about their topic and bookmarked them.  Next week, we will review those sites and take notes on their content.
Homework:

4th Grade: We imported our pictures into our brochure.  The students put 5-6 pictures into their brochures and changed their sizes and positions.  We are almost done.

5th Grade: We then continued working on their webpages.  We talked about adding links to their pages.  We talked about local links and links to other pages on the Internet.

Homework: Your next assignment is to draw a storyboard for each of your subjects....What is a storyboard?  A storyboard is a sequence of pictures that represent the events of the scene as they would be seen on the screen.  Or, draw out how you would like your scene to look.

Here are some good websites to visit:
