Pictures to Come

Wednesdays in Room 138 are quite exciting! In case your student hasn't shared with you, we work on our personal laptops the entire day! 5th Grade shares a cart of laptops and we work on them on Wednesdays! We get a lot accomplished during these days.
Yesterday each student researched a part of the body, and our computer teacher, Mrs. Shaaber came out and showed the students how to use Key Notes (similar to PowerPoint) on the Macs! We have some great slide shows now that we saved to the Share folder. This allows students to view and learn about other body parts.
We also worked on FCAT Explorer. Some students have finished the Math portion and others are busy working on it. Remember- if you finish the Math and Science portion prior to the FCAT you will be invited to a pizza party.
Our district has really brought a lot of technology opportunities to our students. At home, students can work on Gizmo's, FCAT Explorer, Destination Success, and FCAT Simulator just to name a few. Make sure you are taking advantage of these great tools.

The count to testing is ON!!! We are ready in Room 138!!!!
