Update from 
Teacher Val
 
Kinder - Our little ones are playing games Lots of activity in the Computer Lab these days! The Kinder students continue to improve their drawing skills using Pixie2 while showing what they are learning in class. They'll be using a new program this week! 
 
First - The first-grade students have learned all about food, so they'll be taking what they know and using Pixie2 to create an illustration of a scrumptious, HEALTHY meal. 
 
Second - The grade 2 students have been working on their programming skills with the Bee Bots and it won't be long before they are "Certified Bee Bot Programmers!" 
 
Third - The third grade students continue their keyboarding practice, their Logo programming work, as well as lengthier project assignments using PowerPoint and Pixie. 
 
Yup, there's lots of activity in the lab these days!
