PRE- KINDER COMPUTER CLASS

Welcome to Computer Class!!!!

Welcome Families,

My name is Ms. Michelle Corrales and I am so excited to have your child in Computer Class this year. This is my 21st year teaching in the school and hopefully counting. In my class, I strive to create an environment that is warm and welcoming for the social-emotional and academic well being of each student. 

This year students will be using an iPad during Computer Class. They will work with different apps like AbcYa, Starfall, Code.org, and many more. 

They will definitely have a wonderful journey using technology and I will be there to support your child in any way that I can. 

If you feel the need to contact me, you can send an email: mcorrales@amschool.org, I will try to answer back as soon as I can. 

Looking forward to meet your child,

Ms. Michelle Corrales

Week 1 August 7-11, 2023


This week:




Week 2 August 14-18, 2023

Students will work with Starfall and will be following instructions on how to change their Avatar, what they wear, how old they are.


Starfall All About Me teaches children essential vocabulary while they make choices about everyday objects, body parts, pets and household environments.



Week 3 August 21-25, 2023

Students will be working on exercising their brain and reflexes. 

They will challenge themselves to trace letters.

It may look simple but it's equally demanding in the brain and reflexes!





Week 5 Sept.4-8, 2023

Students will play Starfall. With this App they will review the colors.

Starfall Colors 

Learning about colors helps kids sort, organize, categorize, and compare objects. Early identification of colors helps children to create a cognitive link between visual clues and words. Learning to identify and describe colors improves the children's ability to communicate and express themselves.



Week 8 September 25-29, 2023

Students will play Same and Different in ABCYA. 


In each set of donuts, find the pair with the same shape or color (or the donut with a unique shape and color) to progress through the game and unlock the Make a Donut bonus game!



Week October 16-20, 2023

This week students will be working recognizing 2d and 3d shapes. They will be working with STARFALL. 

2D shapes are used to give a simple view of an object. 3D shapes are used to give an architectural view of an object. In 2D shapes, all the edges are clearly visible. In 3D shapes, some of the edges are hidden.

 

Learning about shapes helps children identify and organize information visually, recognise signs and symbols and develop an awareness of the relationship between people, objects and the space around them.



Week 12 October 23-27, 2023

This week students will continue to work with patterns and shapes. They will be using STARFALL and the Game Geometry Maze. They have 6 levels, starting with the easy and ending in a challenge one. This activity will help students with concepts of position and direction. They will also gain experience using the language of direction, including up, down, left, right, forwards, backwards in the context of mazes.  



Week October 30 - November 3, 2023

This week students will be working on sorting. Sorting is an important and essential part of beginning mathematical skills and development for Preschool and Kindergarten students. Children need to be able to describe attributes, matching, sorting, comparing and ordering. 

Week November 6-10, 2023

Students will use their Ipads.They will be  using the abcya.com app.
