ClassRoom ActivitiesKindergarten and First Grade
Students are using Jungle Junior to become familiar with the keys on the keyboard and learning which hand types those letters. Second Grade Second graders are finishing a unit about Pilgrims and the Mayflower. Students selected a section of the Mayflower to learn more about and to create a mini poster. Third Grade Students have learned about Internet browsers, their components, and how to use the features to their advantage. They are learning to conduct better searches using a variety of search engines. Fourth Grade Fun with Spreadsheets was the theme for fourth graders as they transposed an image they created on graph paper to a spreadsheet. Students learned basic terms (columns, rows, cells, cell address), set up columns, rows, and borders, and then filled in the cells. Fifth Grade Students have ventured into the world of Virtual Reality! They are learning what it takes to create a VR world and will be using animation and coding to create a faith based story, or to take their skills to the next level and use images from the school to promote Holy Trinity. Sixth Grade Sixth graders are learning about pod casts and will be creating their own. They are currently researching their topics, and will need to answer the question, "How did ____ get started?" |
