Today the students will be using Pixie to finish their Snowflake Poem project. They will practice changing the way the "text" of their poem looks by changing the font style and color of the text. Each student wrote a cinquain poem about snowflakes in class. This poem has been added to a snowflake picture they created during computer class. Below is an example of what they will be starting with and the result after making changes to the text.
First grade students have begun a map skills study in their classroom. Today students will explore maps and map symbols in computer class while helping a tour bus driver navigate National Geographic's Adventure Island.
In celebration of winter, the students are going to design their own snowflakes using a free online tool. This is reminiscent of cutting out snowflakes from folded paper. This activity works on fine motor and mouse skills. It is always one of the favorite computer activities! They will write a snowflake poem in the classroom to accompany their snowflakes to create a beautiful snowflake project.
Today in first grade we will continue with our beginning coding concepts activities that we introduced during Hour of Code during Computer Science Education Week in December. Students will continue exploring with Kodable and then will try a new App called Puppy Adventure.
