 * 1. Use technology to create projects, identify patterns, and make predictions.

//Iowa Core Curriculum// Use technology resources to identify problems, help recognize and describe patterns, make predictions and/or propose solution s.

//District Technology Skills// || **Patterns** Students will use various pattern template in Kidspiration to review patterns. Finish patterns created in template and then students will create their own patterns. ||  ||
 * Use technology to create projects, identify patterns, and make predictions.

//Iowa Core Curriculum// Use technology resources to identify problems, help recognize and describe patterns, make predictions and/or propose solutions.

//District Technology Skills// || **Shapes & Attributes** Students will classify various shapes based on given attributes, such as: same color, small sizes, same color & number of sides, 4 sides & 4 corners, and same shape & size. This is a Kidspiration template that each child will need. || //**Algebra Sort, classify, and order objects by size, number and other properties.**// Sort and a classify objects by multiple attributes and explain the sorting rule (sort and classify the same set of objects in multiple ways and explain the various sorting rules.). ||

 * Use technology to create projects, identify patterns, and make predictions.

//Iowa Core Curriculum// Use technology resources to identify problems, help recognize and describe patterns, make predictions and/or propose solutions.

//District Technology Skills// || **Less than Greater Than 1-20** Students will use a Kidspiration template to demonstrate understanding of **less than** and **greater than**. (For a variation students can use the Kidspiration library and apply the < > symbols found in the math tools library. Understand equality as meaning "the same as" and use the = symbol appropriately.**// Write number sentences using mathematical notation ( +, =, -, <, >, →, and variables) to represent mathematical relationships to solve problems. || Students will choose an invention from the 1700's to present day. They will research with teacher to find the inventor, date of invention, how it helped or changed society, and any other interesting facts they would like to share. The following site on the internet could be used to gain information about each invention. [|Inventors & Inventions] Pictures of their inventions from past to present may be downloaded to be shared during a videotaped interview. Students will answer questions from the teacher about their inventions and share their pictures. This videotape could be put into iMovie and then be made into a DVD for each student to keep. **Carr / Hunerdosse** ||  ||

 * Use a variety of technology tools and media-rich resources to work collaboratively with others. || **Invention Convention**
 * Use a variety of technology tools and media-rich resources to work collaboratively with others. ||  ||   ||
 * Utilize predetermined digital resources and tools to answer questions or solve problems.

//Iowa Core Curriculum// Collect and explain data to identify commonalities or solutions to problems. || Students use the software, The Graph Club 2.0, to count and graph the color of M&Ms in a mini bag. This data can be viewed in a variety of graph forms and can then be printed, compared and shared with other students.

Understand and practice appropriate and safe uses of technology. ||  ||   ||
 * Weaton/La Van** ||  ||   ||   ||
 * Use technological resources to investigate given questions or problems. ||  ||   ||
 * Understand basic technology hardware and software and their application.

//Iowa Core Curriculum// Explore new technologies using existing skills and knowledge.

//District Technology Skills// || **100 Chart** Students use an Excel template to show numbers from 1 to 100, and to illustrate evens, odds and counting by fives. Using tab, return, and the fill tool they learn how to enter, manipulate, and illustrate data in a spreadsheet. Click link below to download template.
 * La Van**

||  || Students will practice capitalizing the beginning word in a sentence and placing the correct punctuation at the end of the sentence. This will give them practice in using the shift key to add a question mark or an exclamation mark for punctuation, and to capitalize the first word in the sentence. **Carr/Hunerdosse** ||   || This template was made using Kidspiration. Students will drag and drop pictures into the "long vowel sounds" or "short vowel sounds" group. When finished with the pictures given, students may go into the library and choose five more pictures of objects with long vowels & five with short vowels. In order to place them into their correct group, students will need to use the skill of "sizing".
