Welcome to the last day of September.
3rd Graders: Start with MasterKey for 15 minutes. Next we will head back to Google Earth and explore the moon and beyond.
4th Graders: Start with typing for 15 minutes. Next we will look at our Google Earth assignment from last week.
5th Graders: Please start with 15 minutes of MasterKey. I will then give you time for your Astronomy Projects. I believe they are due on Friday!
Good Afternoon 3rd Graders,
We will start with 15 minutes of MasterKey.
We will then turn our attention to Google Earth.
___________________________________________________________
Good morning. Mrs. Johnsrud will be helping you today. Below is your assignment.
Master Key Drills: 20 minutes – no paratyper
After Master Key, you can work with Google Earth, or work on projects from your classroom.
Good Afternoon 3rd Graders,
Please start with typing for the first 15 minutes of class.
We will then turn our attention to exploring more in Google Earth.
Good Morning 4th & 5th Graders,
All students should return to the same seat they had yesterday. If you were not here yesterday wait until everyone has sat down and then find an empty computer.
Everyone should begin class today with 15 minutes of typing in MasterKey. Remember that this is not time to talk. And you should be working on a drill at your highest completed level.
4th Graders: If you didn’t finish yesterday’s project please complete it so we can go over it next time I see you. (See yesterday’s blog for details.) If you are finished you may use the remaining time to visit some more places in Oregon. I’ve made a list below.
Crater Lake
Mount Hood National Forest
Sea Lion Caves, OR
Rooster Rock State Park, OR
Crown Point Vista House, OR
Heceta Head Lighthouse, OR
Alvord Desert, OR
Steens Mountains, OR
Wallowa Lake, OR
5th Graders: When you are finished typing, please return to finding images for you your Astronomy Project. Please use images only from the hubblesite.org or wikipedia.org.
Remember that if you want to save an image, hold the “Control” key down on your keyboard and click on the image. From the pop up window select “Add Image to iPhoto Library”. This only works in Safari.

4th Graders: When typing time is over you will go on a fact finding journey through Oregon. For this journey you will need to take a few notes. An easy place to store you notes is in “Text Edit”. Don’t forget to save using you name as a title.
Here is what you should do next:
Open Google Earth. In the “Search” panel select “Directions”. In the two search boxes type Portland, OR to Bend, OR.
There are a few things I’d like you to find along the way. Make sure that Geographic Web and Terrain are checked in the Layers panel.
1. What Volcano do you pass by on your way out of Portland?
2. In this same area how far is Trillium Lake from Brunt Lake?
3. What is the name of the famous Lodge on near the top of this Volcano.
4. What is the name of the Glacier right above the Lodge?
5. When you get to Bend, what is the river that runs through the city?
6. Directly West of Bed there are some very well known volcanos. One is a popular skiing site. The others are favorites with hikers and climbers.
5th Graders: When you are finished typing, please return to finding images for you your Astronomy Project. Please use images only from the hubblesite.org or wikipedia.org.

Good Morning,

4th Graders – You will be heading next to Google Earth where we’ll be exploring more of Oregon Geography and learning to use some of the many tools in this program.
5th Graders – We will focus on our astronomy presentations. I will show you two programs that you might want to use and how to pick between them.
Good Afternoon 3rd Graders,
Welcome to the last day of Summer! And what a day it is!
We’ll be learning how to use our typing program today. The program is called MasterKey. Typing is one of the major skills you’ll be learning in technology class this year.
But before you begin I’ll need to create an account. This will take a few minutes and I’ll need you cooperation. So be patient and calm an this should will not take long.

Then:
4th Graders we will be exploring Oregon Geography through Google Earth.
5th Graders we will be looking at an amazing website about the Hubble Space Telescope. We will also talk about using the internet for research; how to get websites to read to you their content; and how to use pictures from the internet. If there is time we will also watch a short video about the Hubble.
Good Afternoon 3rd Graders,
Today we will be exploring the earth through the program Google Earth.
