​Today students will review their introductory keyboarding skills with an interactive learning tool called Keyseeker. This tool helps the students practice placement of 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.

We try to watch videos with full Spanish dialog and Pocoyo is no exception.  Pocoyo is entertaining and accessible because the dialog is neither difficult nor fast. ​

Welcome to computer class! The second grade students will come to class in the Computer Lab on Tuesdays.  
The class will divide into two groups so that each student will be in the computer lab for half of the period. 
Today we'll be covering:

• introductions
• computer lab rules and procedures
• fire alarm procedures
• review different parts of a computer
• learn how to log in and log off

After our rules and procedures, students will make their Name Plates to mark their assigned seats in the computer lab.  We'll use a fun little application called Spell With Flickr.

In second grade Spanish, we endeavor to connect more with vocabulary that we have heard before and can readily identify. Rather than translate, I ask students to draw pictures that remind them of the context of recognizable words and phrases.   

Words and Phrases:  Buenos Dias, Buenas Tardes, Buenas Noches, Amigo/Amiga, Cantemos Juntos, Manos (arriba/de paz).

Here are some other videos they may already know and enjoy.
