Today students will review their introductory keyboarding skills with an interactive learning tool called Keyseeker. This tool helps the students recognize letters on a keyboard and prompts them to use the correct hand to strike the key. The keyboard is split into purple for left and green for right hand. The students use color bands on their wrists to help remember which hand to use.
The second grade class recently took a field trip to Luray Caverns. Today the students will be using Pixie software to create a drawing of a favorite place in Luray Caverns. They will practice using the draw tool, paint fill tool, and smear feature to create their drawings. Below are some pictures from Luray Caverns to inspire them!
Today the students will refer to the image of the monster they created to fill in a writing prompt that prompts them to write down descriptions with adjectives for the various parts of their monsters. This will be the basis for the written descriptions in paragraph form that they will write when they return to their classroom.
