Kindergarten and First Grade

After viewing a video and reading a book about our Pledge of Allegiance, students went to Tux Paint and drew pictures of the American flag.  We learned how to click and drag our mouse using the paint brush tool to make the stripes of the flag.  Next, we drew a blue square and filled in the square with paint.  Then we added white stars using the star paint tool.  It was so much fun to watch them draw their flags!  We have come a long way in using our mouse on the computer in just a few weeks!  I hope you enjoy pictures of some of the students working on their flags!

2nd Grade - Constitution Day Activities

The second graders listened to a book called "We the People" by David Catrow.  Mr. Catrow takes the big ideas and words of the Preamble to the Constitution and explains it so students can understand the concepts.  Next, we divided up in groups and made pictures to go with the words of the Preamble.  I will scan these pictures to make a slideshow in the near future so please check back on our blog!  The pictures are great!

New Lab!!

Our new lab is completed at Central Elementary!  The lab is just beautiful and full of new technology for our students to use. I am so grateful for all our new equipment and for all the hard work that went into setting up the lab and getting it running.  A very special thanks go to Anitta Staats, Kevin Goforth, Kay Grunewald and Tammy Williams for their time, effort and talents setting up the lab!  Please come in and check it out!
