Strong Finish with the Olympics!!
Our final unit in 1st and 2nd grade technology is a fact finding mission on the Olympics. Students are learning how to use a search engine from our Educational Links to find interesting information about the Olympics. We began with a picture of the 5 Olympic rings as our selected masterpiece of art. This aligns with Bernstein Artful Learning. Come and look at our really awesome bulletin board full of facts outside the tech room if you are at school! We took a virtual trip to Beijing, China and Vancouver, Canada to see where the upcoming Olympics will be held.

Over the summer please visit the Educational Links site with your child. Give them time to practice keyboarding as well. This will help them with future projects at school.
