Kindergarten - Today in the Technology Lab

Today our Kindergarten classes worked in Marble Math. Students continue to work on click, click/drag, and scrolling while counting and adding marbles. I want to encourage you to watch your child as they work in Marble Math.

We continue working with Moon Rock Patterns. Students added to the pattern by choosing the correct color moon rock while clicking and dragging the stones.

Your children are a joy to have in class. It is such a blessing each week to watch as their skills sharpen while working on the laptops. I am thankful to the Lord for this opportunity as He molds their lives.

God bless,

Mrs. Whipple
