As we get closer to the end of the year in the lab, students are busy finishing their final projects. Although we haven't updated our posts recently, we sure have been busy!
Kindergarten: Students recently explored software programs including Sammy's Science House and Bailey's Book House in order to support their classroom curriculum. They also continue to explore Microsoft Paint and the many tools available by completing various sentence prompts with illustrations. Recently, while celebrating Earth Day, students wrote about how they take care of the earth and illustrated a picture.
1st Grade: The first graders have been busy. Just before spring break, students created a classroom PowerPoint slideshow about their favorite thing in first grade. Recently, students created an ABC book about space following the study of space with Mrs. Sapinoro in the library. Currently, we are working on a special project for our wonderful mothers... we can't share the details!
3rd Grade: Students recently completed a research project in both the library and computer lab. Student pairs worked together to learn more about a particular person in history and then created a Bio Riddle. Currently, the students are working on creating an All About Me PowerPoint slideshow, which they will present to their classmates before the end of the year. The students are enjoying using the various tools to create their unique slideshow.
4th Grade: Fourth graders are also nearing the end of their research project completed in both the library and computer lab. To support the classroom social studies curriculum, students researched a state and are in the process of creating an informational PowerPoint slideshow to present their information to their classmates.
5th Grade: Currently, students are working on a research project in conjunction with their classroom and the library. Students have been learning about various United States conflicts during social studies in their classrooms. Each student is required to present information about a particular conflict in U.S. history. To prepare for their presentation, students began researching their conflicts in the library and computer lab, before and after spring break. Now students are working on creating a poster in Microsoft Word about the conflict as well as a presentation board in order to present what they have learned to their classmates during social studies.

What are we doing in the Lab...
At PRE we focus on teaching 21st Century Technology Skills based on the National Educational Technology Standards (NETS), the Colorado Standards for Information Literacy, and the Weld County School District Re5J Elementary Technology Standards.
While students are meeting these standards, they are presented a variety of activities which support classroom content in areas such as reading, writing, math, science and social studies. This curriculum integration allows students to apply learned skills into a variety of situations.
