February Break

We had  a great February break here in Maine. It was nice weather at the beginning of the week and then we got three snow storms towards the end of the week. In fact, we had a two hour delay on Monday (our return day) due to 8 more inches of snow over night.

We are back to school now and several new projects have started in the computer labs at both VES and CRES. Below is a list of grade level projects that the students will be working on over the next couple of weeks. I have been working closely with Mrs. Kaknes' class to develop and edit renewable energy commercials for a service learning project. These commercials will be played during our monthly CRES News Broadcast and will also be shown on the web page and our local access television channel.

Computer Lab topics at Village Elementary include;

Kindergarten - Creating 100 squares using Kidpix

First Grade - Office Scott will be in to talk to the kids about Safety and the Red E. Fox Program

Second Grade - Is continuing their projects on word work using Kidspiration 3

Computer Lab topics at Coast Ridge include;

Second Grade  - Word Work and Math Practice using EM Games and Kidspiration

Third Grade - Maine animal projects and service learning Keynote presentations
