Kindergarten Children Study Weather

Ravenna kindergarten children spent six weeks in the AT&T Classroom looking at the change in the weather during the spring season. Daily trips outdoors to film the clouds helped in the construction of a timeline. Weather instruments and sendors were used to take temperature, wind speed, humidity and barometrice pressure. Mrs. Farrar, their West Park teacher provided the students with a variety of activities including reading stories, creating timelines, and journaling on their Alpha Smart keyboards. The students also used digital camaras to record nature walks where they examined evidence of wind, precipitation, sun and shadows.

Science and Language Arts

Mr. Shawn Jones of Walls Elementary School taught both science and language arts in the AT&T Classroom.
The students learned about sound and light through the use of many hands-on experiments, web quests and programmed activities on CDs associated with their science textbook. Each student also brought in famil photos and spent time using the scanner to make digital copies of the pictures. These were incorporated into a Mother's Day program on a CD with music.
