Week 20 - Copy and Paste BINGO!

It was time we put our copy and paste skills to good use with a good ol' game of BINGO! Each student had a unique digital BINGO card on their computer with pictures of rockets, stars, Hello Kitty, minions, penguins, etc. and words like dog, goat, jar and barn. I spun the randomizer wheel on my iPad, and if one of the elements from your card came up, you had to copy that element from one page and paste it into place on your BINGO card. It's a new twist on an old favorite. And unlike most BINGO games, the energy level was quite high here! Personally, I had a ball too!

Week 19 - Cut/Copy and Paste

 

On the week of Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday, we used Dr. King's "dream" to help us practice how to cut/copy and paste. Students were asked to cut the "bad" words from Martin's Dream and paste them into the trash can. They also had to copy the "good" words from Martin's Dream and paste them into Our Dream. Not only did it help us learn the difference between cut and copy, it also reinforced Dr. King's wise words of right and wrong.

Week 18 - Cut/Copy and Paste

A little birdie told me that the Baker first graders did a great job with cut/copy and paste last week. So we did it again this week. And this time, the little birdie helped. We used our new skills to match the bird picture with the correct positional word.When they were finished, that little bird was singing about what a great job they did.

Week 17 - Cut/Copy and Paste

 

Cut/paste and copy/paste are two of the most commonly used computer functions. It's amazing how much more you can do with a computer once you learn them. And the Baker first graders are ready to go. We cut out words, copied pictures and pasted them in appropriate locations. This is an important skill and we'll definitely need more practice, but the first graders had a great start!
