Mrs. Jones' First Graders

My first graders were given cards that had a picture created in KidPix. The students were then asked to recreate the picture, using the tools they have learned about. (Such as: shape, line, paint bucket and pencil tools) Looks like we have some pretty good KidPix artists- awesome job!!!

I will be posting more pictures as I have each 1st Grade class!

The kids were spot on with the color choices, but when I took a
picture of some of them it didn't show the true colors :(

Coding with 1st Grade

First Grade Fun

Coding is a breeze for 1st grade!

I always love it when my students are learning something in a fun way. 

Students guide Awbie through a path filled with delicious strawberries using different tiles to design a specific algorithm. 

This helps students to learn logic and  problem solving skills.

Osmo Coding is helping our students to problem solve and work together as a team.

You want me to do what? Robotics? Coding?

At first this Robotics and Coding thing scared me- I know nothing about it! Once the students and I started diving into the lessons- I have fell in love with it. What a wonderful way to teach team work, building and problem solving skills! Just a little disappointed at how small the robotics are, but the kids truly light up once their team completes the task. 

Next project- miniature hand powered windmill! 

2018 Olympics lesson ideas!

So if you didn't watch the opening ceremonies this year, you missed one amazing show! I am such a tech nerd and loved the Drone Flight show so much I had to share it with my 4th grade students this week. Click the link to see what I am talking about-

Intel | Experience the Team in Flight at PyeongChang 2018

I watched this all week and every single day it gave my chills to watch all 1,200 drones take flight. This was a perfect way to show team work and coding. I love the app where you can be apart of the different sports and keep up with the medal count. Check it out...

NBC Sports VR

VR goggles are not required- you can view the different sports with panoramic view.

Go U-S-A!!! I love the Olympics!   

5th Grade Cyberbullying

Students used a Venn Diagram to show the differences and similarities 

of bullying and cyberbullying. Here are a few examples that caught my eye! 

Follow the Digital Trail  

What information is OK to have in your digital footprint?

My 1st grade students learned about leaving a digital trail online. Students are learning that you should never share private information online and always ask 

permission before you post anything online. 

One of the questions asked the students what funny information Mizzle the Mouse shared online. Here is a couple of pictures that caught my eye and if you haven't guessed, Mizzle loves cheese!!!!
