It's hard to believe that we're already finishing up our second full week of school.
So much has happened already. We've already set up Type to Learn,Math Blaster, and Treasure Math Storm. We're getting ready to start Accelerated Reader in the classroom next week. We're also in the middle of restarting Treasure Math Storm and Math Arena.
Nearly all of the third, fourth, and fifth grade classes have already done one full lesson on Type to Learn. I'm happy to say that most students did not forget their typing skills over the summer. This year, we have third graders who are already half way through this wonderful program. That's impressive.
We had two second classes start Treasure Math Storm. Because of the work first grade teachers did last year, it went very smoothly. The kids are very excited, because Treasure Math Storm is one of the most popular games in the lab for all grades.
We've started work on a "mini-mac" lab with 15 macintoshes. We're looking forward to starting podcast lessons in third grade latter on in the year.
Both of my my main volunteers have moved on to other projects, so I am looking for volunteers to work in the lab.
Friday I have classes in the lab all day. It's my busiest day, so I'll stop here.
More later.
