Kindergarten, First, and Second Grade Lesson Plans:

Kindergarten – Second Grade Lesson Plans

Students in grades K-2 will be given an introductory lesson for the use of the Paint Program.  This is the program selected for participation in the Technology Inclusion Projects for grade K-2 for the 3^rd Nine Weeks.  Other programs being used will include PowerPoint and PhotoStory as well as the possible use of digital cameras. 

*Kindergarten will be doing a “Poem Illustration Project” – Students will illustrate a line of a poem using Paint.  The illustrations will be placed in PowerPoint slides containing the line of the poem.  The PowerPoint will be transferred to PhotoStory and each student will use a microphone to narrate their line of the poem.

*First Grade will be doing “I’m an Author Project” – Students will draw (inPaint) a picture of a topic that will be placed in PowerPoint.  The students will type a sentence or sentences about the topic and their picture.

*Second Grade will be doing “The Important Thing About…. Project” – Students will create two PowerPoint slides (found in a template) writing about something important to them.  They will include a picture from Paint or a camera (using digital cameras to take the picture).

Introduction Lesson for Paint

Students will be shown the basics of Paint beginning with locating and opening the program to the use of its tool and color boxes.  We will also discuss the options from the too bar at the top of their screen.

This week will offer the students the opportunity to practice using the various tools and options within the program.  Future classes will provide them the opportunity to follow directions to create a pre-determined product.  This week is more for free exploration and experimentation with the program and its tools.

Tech Objectives

Standards Covered This Week:

Technology Foundation Standards for Students

1       Basic operations and concepts

·       Students demonstrate a sound understanding of the nature and operation of technology systems.

·       Students are proficient in the use of technology.

2       Social, ethical, and human issues

·       Students practice responsible use of technology systems, information, and software.

·       Students develop positive attitudes toward technology uses that support lifelong learning, collaboration, personal pursuits, and productivity.

3       Technology productivity tools

·       Students use technology tools to enhance learning, increase productivity, and promote creativity.

Performance Indicators

A major component of the NETS Project is the development of a general set of profiles describing technology-literate students at key developmental points in their pre-college education. These profiles reflect the underlying assumption that all students should have the opportunity to develop technology skills that support learning, personal productivity, decision making, and daily life. These profiles and associated standards provide a framework for preparing students to be lifelong learners who make informed decisions about the role of technology in their lives.

Prior to completion of Grade 2, students will:

1. Use input devices (e.g., mouse, keyboard, remote control) and output devices (e.g., monitor, printer) to successfully operate computers, VCRs, audiotapes, and other technologies. (1)
2. Use a variety of media and technology resources for directed and independent learning activities. (1, 3)
3. Communicate about technology using developmentally appropriate and accurate terminology. (1)
4. Use developmentally appropriate multimedia resources (e.g., interactive books, educational software, elementary multimedia encyclopedias) to support learning. (1)

7. Practice responsible use of technology systems and software. (2)
8. Create developmentally appropriate multimedia products with support from teachers, family members, or student partners. (3)
9. Use technology resources (e.g., puzzles, logical thinking programs, writing tools, digital cameras, drawing tools) for problem solving, communication, and illustration of thoughts, ideas, and stories. (3, 4, 5, 6)
