First Grade is Going Google...

Mrs. Lawler's first grade students are going Google!  This week, these Highland Park students learned how to sign in to their individual student accounts and create their own Google documents.  Knowing how to do this will enable these students to do great things in the classroom.   These first graders have been working on the writing process in class.  Last week, they were talking about good things to eat for breakfast. They brainstormed together, completed a graphic organizer, and then voted for their favorite.  Pancakes won the class vote, so this week they have been writing about pancakes in class.  Today, students were so excited because they were able to create a Google Doc and type their written work.   I couldn't help but smile when I noticed one little guy lean over to his friend and whisper, "I feel like an adult."  Knowing how to access their Google accounts will allow these students to track their progress and save their projects from year to year.
