I plan on working with children in kindergarden or grade one. I do not have a certain content area yet, but I chose Social Studies for my newsletter. I chose chronology and heritage. I had them make a small timeline of their favorite events in the past few years, I put pictures of 4 different presidents and had them put them in order, and I also put pictures of 4 different holidays and federal holidays and had them determine which was which.
I thought it was important for them to understand what it means for things to be in chronological order and I also thought it was good for them to know there are important holidays other than the ones they are used to celebrating. The word processing is a great thing for teachers and students to use because it provides a lot of tools to use to make an assignment or project much more efficient and easy.
Chaley,
ReplyDeleteI agree that Word processing would be a good tool to help students understand chronological order. I was hoping you could talk in greater detail specifically how Word processing would help students with this. CB
