3rd Grade Africa Research

During the winter 3rd grade studied Africa. As part of this unit students worked in partners to learn about one African country in detail. They did the research using tools they learned about during Information Science/Technology class including GoogleEarth, the BB&N Lower School library catalog and worldbook.com.
After gathering their facts the students then choose how they wanted to present their information. Each group was allowed to choose their own style of presentation and this year projects included Powerpoint presentations, Jeopardy games, movies, posters and Scratch animations. The students did amazing work and this week they are presenting their projects to their classes.

Keyboarding at BB&N

Students at BB&N learn to touch-type in the 3rd and 4th grades. Last year we upgraded our software and purchased Type to Learn 4, which is a networked version of the program and can therefore be installed and used both at school and at home. This software is also available to all of our other students, as well as to our faculty and staff. If you are interested in learning to touch-type, please email Megan Haddadi for a Type to Learn 4 account.
