FUNCTION MACHINE PROJECT

Our Everyday Math program has an activity called the function machine in which numbers go into a machine which has a rule that is applied to that number. The Tech Club enjoyed making their own function machines in PowerPoint. Click on the names to discover the rules and finish the table.

What do we do in the computer lab?

1. Reading and Math Skills - With the ClassWorks software program each class can use  programs that will help the children practice the skills in math, reading, and writing.  The computer lessons aid the students to understand and apply the classrooms skills.  Teachers can select the skills and then have the students access them for their practice.
2. Keyboarding Skills -Students in 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades receive keyboarding lessons for them to learn the home row and use the proper fingers in typing. We have two keyboarding programs. We use Jump Start Typing for grades 3-5 and Type to Learn 3 for grade 2.
3. Word Processing Skills - We have a variety of software to help students publish letter, poems, etc.  We use Microsoft WORD, Printshop, and Writing Blaster.
4. Multimedia Projects - Students  develop specific projects and publish them with PowerPoint and/or Multi-media Workshop in grades 2 - 5.  We are also using Photo Story 3 for photo essays.  
5. Internet Skills - Students have lessons on how to search the internet along with the cautions of the net.  Teachers select appropriate sites for students to research.  We use Bess Proxy, a filter, that guards the student from accessing undesirable sites.  All students may use the internet unless the parent submits a request that their child not use it.
6. STAR Reading and Math - Students are tested in reading and math so that teachers can keep track of their progress.
