Kindergarten - We have been learning about Eric Carle and the job of an author and illustrator. 

 

First - Computer skills were our focus in May. Students can name the parts of a computer and we have used our new mini-lab to write and illustrate stories about ourselves.

 

Second - We are taking a trip around the world in May. Students are using the electronic encyclopedia to learn about a famous place and write a short paper about it.

Third - In May we have finished reading Andrew Clement's book Lunch Money. We also designed and made mini-books - acting as both author and illustrator.

 

Fourth -  Students are taking what they know about reference materials to research a famous person and create a "bio-cube" about them using the Internet. 

 

Fifth - The last weeks of May we've been learning smart search strategies for the Internet. Students got to practice their new skills by playing the "Google game".
