Below is an outline of what was covered in each class during lab time.
Fifth Grade: Each student wrote a letter in business format to President Obama. Students were asked to think about three things s/he would like to see changed during Obama's presidency. Students used an online business letter generator. This is a free and excellent resource for helping students learn how to write a business and/or friendly letter.

Fourth Grade: Students are learning how create a Wiki page. I was able to receive free Wiki space through a project for educators. Each student has her/his own page. Students will be able to write about and share projects in the classroom as well as the technology lab. Please stay tuned for our URL once the work is complete! We look at another Wiki space created by another fourth grade classroom that was very helpful and interesting. www.mendell.wikispaces.com/
Third Grade: Students completed online research about Bottlenose Dolphins. The resource was a free online picture dictionary. This is a useful site in helping young students read and search for information. www.enchantedlearning.com
Second Grade: Students wrote about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Each student chose two things that s/he felt helped create peace. Students will type their final copies next week in the lab using Microsoft Word.
First Grade: Students used Microsoft Word to write about their favorite things they love to do in school. Each student learned to insert a relevant piece of clipart for her/his final copy.
