Computer Lab - a Sneak Peek

We use computers a lot in our classroom.  We use them at math stations every day to practice our math concepts and facts.  We use them to take AR tests for reading comprehension assessment.  But we love to go to the lab on Friday mornings and just have some fun!  We can play any of the educational games on the school computers or we can use the time to blog!  Our computer lab has 26 computers, so one student gets to sit at the teacher's desk so we can all join in the fun!  (Mrs. Koehn doesn't mind!)

Despite having been the computer lab teacher several years ago, Mrs. Koehn feels pretty useless when we are in the lab!  We all help each other navigate to the games we want to play, help figure out the math problem that will get us to the third level and even remind each other where to find the log in and password to get to the class blog!  We are all so techie, we don't even need a teacher (most of the time!)

We love to play Sumdog with our friends!  This game lets us practice our math and reading skills while playing against kids in our class, our town or around the world!

Some of us like to do the word find games! 

While others of us like to put our own words out on the blog!  Today, Prestyn helped Maya to spell "different".  He's been working on learning how to spell that word for the spelling test this week and he was eager to share his knowledge!!
