Pre-K and Kindergarten:
In our weekly computer class, the children are introduced to the ‘FUN’damentals of technology. We use excellent, age-appropriate software that helps the children learn to recognize uppercase and lowercase letters. We also play computer ‘games’ with educational software. Bailey’s BookHouse, Milly’s MathHouse, Sammy’s ScienceHouse and Trudy’s TimeHouse help teach the children basic menu options in curriculum based subject areas. The children are learning many of the special terms that we call computer language. The best part of computer class is the freedom that the students have to explore and manipulate the tools independently. They print their own drawings and greeting cards. We have loads of fun while learning a basic introduction to computers.
