Technology class is once a week for 45 minutes for grades 1-5, so the work provided should fit into that time frame.
STUDENTS, please RESTART your Chromebooks daily. This will help to ensure they work properly!
Kids recommended Ergonomics Video - With the transition into enrichment learning, you may find your child on a device more frequently. Please take a few minutes to watch the kids ergonomics video so ensure your child's workspace is set up for their safety.
Week of June 15th and June 22
Hi Fourth Graders! I cannot believe this is our last full week of school. We have another beautiful week of weather ahead of us. The specialists have organized a fun bingo challenge. You will find a mix of activities from art, library, music, PE and technology. Can you complete all of the squares? That's called a blackout bingo.
I will also post this activity in your TECHNOLOGY GOOGLE CLASSROOM if you'd like to cross off the items online and turn-in your board when you are ready.
Enjoy your week! I miss you!

Week of June 8th
Hi 4th Graders,
It was so nice to see so many of you last week during the Tech-Drop In. I am hosting 2 more sessions this week - same time and place! Tuesday and Thursday from 1:00 - 2:00. The meet link will be posted in your homeroom Google Classroom.
It's time to wrap up the Endangered Species Stop Animation Movie project.
Please visit the assignment from last week for the FINAL STEPS in sharing your animation movie into your endangered species slideshow.
The first assignment has all of the details, templates, directions to get started.
I will be hosting DROP-IN Tech Hours this week - Tuesday, June 9th and Thursday, June 11th from 1:00 - 2:00 PM. Swing by if you need help!
Project: Create a Stop Animation Movie.
In the assignment you will find:
Google Slide Lesson - There are step by step directions with videos on how to do each step of the process. The videos are short and you can watch them over and over again if you get stuck.
Blank Google Slide that you will use to create your stop animation.
My example is linked to the picture. It still needs work but it should give you an idea of what you will create.
Have Fun!
Ms. Crozier
