Computer lab fun!

This is the Symbaloo the 4th graders use in the computer lab. It is a bookmarking site helps us navigate the web easily. I frequently add new links that have to do with what we are studying.

This is a site on our Symbaloo that helps us learn about the oceans, rivers and mountain ranges in the U.S.http://www.learner.org/interactives/historymap/index.html

We've been reading about wolves in our Trophies anthology. This is a site we visited to learn more about the different types of wolves and see video of them.http://kids.nationalgeographic.com/kids/animals/creaturefeature/graywolf/

We have also been learning about Greek myths. This site allowed us to read a book online.wegivebooks.org

This is also a great site we visit if we have time www.freerice.com

We dissected owl pellets in class today. The children went on http://www.kidwings.com/index.htm in the computer lab to do a virtual dissection before they did the real thing. They loved the song from the Youtube video. Mrs. K
