3rd+Grade

Here are my lesson plans/resoruces for 3rd Grade. =Parts of a Computer= Business Standard - B.4.1 Info & Technology Literacy Standard - A.4.1

Through question and answer, we discuss the parts of a computer and how to properly take care of one.

=Touch Typing= Business Standards - B.4.2, B.4.4 Info & Technology Literacy Standards - A.4.1, A.4.2

To teach touch typing, I use PAWS presents typing for the Computer published by McGraw-Hill. For each lesson, I first spend a day demonstrating and practicing the new reach with the students. On the second day, the students practice the new keys on their own typing out of the book. On the third day, the students use the computer program PAWS in Typing Town and complete the lesson that corresponds wih the keys we just learned.

=World Book Online= Business Standard - B.4.10 Info & Technology Literacy Standard - A.4.2

I spend one day discussing World Book Online Kids and how valuable this website is. We watch a short video where Atlas the dog demonstrates how to use this tool Then as a class, we go to World Book Kids and review what Atlas showed us by searching for some information together.



On the second day, I have the students use World Book Online Kids to complete the Rainforest Animal worksheet. the students need to pick two rainforest animals and using World Book Online Kids find some interesting facts about those animals.
