Kindergarten Computer Science with Mr. Fier
Room 2-211, office hours 8am to 4pm daily
Mr. Fier's Kindergarten Zoom is currently on Wednesday mornings at 8:30 AM.
When the lab is open kindergarten students come to the computer lab to work on one of several software programs to extend their classroom studies in literacy, math, and social studies. They use Kid Pix 3D and MicroWorlds Jr to puts text and graphics together to express their voice. They use Pattern Blocks in Kidspiration to learn about geometry and math. And they use Thinking Things to become better problem solvers.
