Apple Trees

Dear Families,

Here is our first project in the computer lab. We illustrated the poem, The Apple Tree, using the Kidpix software. Here are the words to the poem:

The Apple Tree
Here is the tree, with leaves so green.
Here are the apples, that hang between.
When the wind blows, the apples fall.
Here is the basket, to gather them all.

To make the apple tree, we learned how to draw using the rectangular tool (for the tree trunk and the basket), as well as the pencil tool to draw the tree and grass. We also used the apple stamps and finally, we used paint bucket to color in the picture so that there is "no white space." Great job everyone!

A New School Year

Welcome to our classwork section of the website!

Every week, I will try to post at least one new project that the students complete on the computers! We use the computer lab every Wednesday during overlap, and we also use student laptops as one of our centers on Wednesday! I will also post pictures of our classroom decorations each month so that you can see all of the students' beautiful work!

Here are photos of our August Classroom Decorations!
