First Grade Gallery- Lessons for Little Learners

We are working on using describing words to add more detail to our writing. This week, the students used the five senses to describe apples and wrote the adjectives with approximate spelling. We glued the adjectives to our apple painting project. In the computer lab, we used Microsoft Office Word to create a document with the sentence, I like ____ apples best. The students practiced keyboarding skills and learned how to select font style and size, change the color of the font, search for and insert clip art of an apple and how to resize an image.

Every Friday, the class visits the computer lab. We usually begin with a lesson or demonstration on the skill for the week. This week, the students learned how to use the program Bailey's Bookhouse. We practiced word families (rhyming words) and reading direction words like over and under.
