BLAIR MOODY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL: Computer lab is rocking


From learning the parts of the computer in kindergarten to research in third, fourth, and fifth grade, to learning how to use different fonts, color, font size and a dash of creativity the computer lab at Moody Elementary School is rocking. 

Students talked about Internet safety, do's and don'ts of computer rules school wide. Each student was given a baggie of sticky notes and asked to label the various external components do the computer. This interactive activity was cause for a few stray sticky notes and a couple labeling of friends but in the ending the message prevailed and learning actually took place.

Thanks to Mrs. Tevepaugh a great research lesson on bats flew in just in time for Halloween. Children in our upper el classes labeled the parts of a bat, described where they live, researched and listed what they ate, and did a contrast and compare Venn diagram between birds and bats. It was a howling good time finding the good, the bad, and the ugly pictures and facts about our winged mammal friends.

The hall outside the lab is adorned with a fall tree with colorful leaves created by students using their names to add a colorful visual flair. Impressing even themselves students designed the leaves of a tree. From a two-inch design to nine-inch project each piece came together to create a masterpiece.
