In the Lab with First Grade
|
As the kids are studying Salmon in their classrooms we use some of these activities to build their interest and understanding in the lab. |
This short activities have proven to be a fun way to get kids started using a word processor. This is usually the second to the last big activity of the year and gets the kids ready for the Frog Life Cycle Booklet. |

In this project kids research the weather on four cities in Washington State, then use Clicker 5/Clicker Paint to create a weather map from their data. For those kids who want to, I let them record a weather report using their map. |
This is a fun project done at the end of the year to give the kids a good introduction to word processing. We do this during the First Grade unit on ponds. |

I always like to start First Grade students on their first real project that requires them to research a top using one internet site and then build a PowerPoint slide using that information. I always combine the pages into a book that I give the kids to keep in their classroom. |
This is the first organized research project I do with First Grade students. We usually do this in December or the first thing in January. The kids always want to print pictures, so I show them how to copy and paste LOTS of pictures into one PowerPoint slide and allow them to print those out. |
