Back in the Classroom

     Its been awhile so I thought that I'd better write a new post and tell whats been going on in my classroom. Since before Christmas break I had been telling my students that if they behave I will let them use the Mac Books that are stored for the upper elementary students. About a week after getting back I decided that it was time. They were so excited. After going over some rules about how to care for this new piece of technology they were about to use I handed them out to each student.

 The students got right to work. They are working on state projects. They each had to pick a state and find out several facts about that state. Stay tuned to find out how it turns out.

After I took this shot I decided I could get their faces too.

The students were happy to help each other. Some had more experience working with Mac Books so they lent a hand when they could.

     So far the students are doing a great job working with the computers. I am proud of how careful they are with them. They are also doing a good job with their research. Most have been able to find out a lot about the state they picked. I am looking for another project that they can use the laptops, so that they can stay excited about using the technology that we have available.
