National Geographic Adventure IslandStudents will explore maps and map symbols while helping a tour bus driver navigate National Geographic's Adventure Island.

They will start Internet Explorer on the laptops (the Kindergarten Blog will be their home page) and start the application Red Fish. I will show them how to explore the application and how to tell when something is a hyperlink. When class is finished, the students will learn to exit Internet Explorer and tidy up their work area.
The Kindergarten class is learning about Community Helpers and will be going on a field trip to the town of Orange tomorrow to see local community helpers in action. Today at the Computer Station they will explore and learn about the different Community Helpers with whom they will be meeting - Postal Carrier, Fire Fighter, Police Officer, Pizza Maker, and Artist. They will learn how to start and pause a video, how to make it "full screen" and "escape" to exit full screen mode. They will learn how to activate the "audio" for the audio books, how to navigate a panoramic image, and how to play the different online activities.
Today the Kindergarten class will be playing a variety of online games reinforcing what they are learning in class about how to mix paint colors. They practiced using the mouse and left-clicking and dragging and dropping. They also practiced using the scroll bar.
