Digital Learning in Fuller Meadow - November Edition

We are transforming the learning experience at Fuller Meadow School with technology! Why embrace technology in elementary education? To prepare your child for the future. Our carefully curated tech tools are designed to enhance critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration. From interactive learning apps to hands-on digital exercises, we're fostering a dynamic environment that sparks curiosity and imagination. This month at Fuller Meadow we discussed "Digital Citizenship", BrainPOP, Jr. Make-a-Map, and Math Fact Lab program to foster math fact fluency.
Students in K, 1st and 2nd grade participated in a lesson on "Digital Citizenship". Teachers are continuously reinforcing Digital Citizenship and Digital Safety skills to make sure it's always on the top of our students' minds. Check out our presentation.
Our 2nd graders had the opportunity to use "BrainPOP Make-a-Map" to show their understanding of Continents and Oceans. Students have been studying continents and oceans in their Social Studies class and learning about the land features in each continent. BrainPOP, Jr. offers great resources on this topic. After their classroom studies, students watch the BrainPOP, Jr. video "Continents and Oceans" and complete a brainstorming map for one of the continents. They had to include the name and video clip of the continent, at least one term and one photo that relates to the continent. Students had so much fun exploring the features of the program.
Our 1st and 2nd graders are using a new edtech program titled "Math Fact Lab" to practice math facts. "Math Fact Lab" is an engaging and interactive learning program designed specifically for elementary students to strengthen their foundational math skills. Through a combination of games, activities, and hands-on exercises, the program focuses on mastering essential mathematical facts such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. The goal is to make learning math enjoyable and effective, helping students build confidence and fluency in solving basic math problems. The Math Fact Lab encourages a positive attitude towards math, fostering a love for learning and a solid understanding of fundamental math concepts.
