Keyboarding Skills

I hope that everyone is enjoying your summer break.
It is never too early to start thinking about third grade.
Next year you are going to have your very own laptop and that
means it is time to start practicing your keyboarding skills!

Here are a couple of fun sites to play on over the summer.

Let's Get STEM-y!

Hey Girls...

STEM is an initiative that combines SCIENCE,TECHNOLOGY,ENGINEERING and MATH. We have been working on these types of activities throughout this school year. I would like for you to continue to explore STEM activities over the summer and I have a few suggested ideas to get you started.

-Attend a Lowe's Build & Grow Workshop and receive an apron and goggles

-Attend a Home Depot Kid's Workshop and receive an apron and pin

-Use a big appliance box to create your own playhouse, store, cave, or vehicle

-Use smaller boxes to create an architectural structure (stack, glue, tie, or tape them together)

-Create an outdoor habitat for your favorite animal

-Use pine cones, peanut butter, and bird seed to make a bird feeder

-Learn to play chess

-Make home-made playdough, silly putty, or bubbles

Have fun! Visit our Linkable page for more ideas and links!
