Welcome Back and Happy New Year!

This week we will begin to apply the names of the parts to the computers. Our focus for the week will be on the monitor, the keyboard, the mouse, and the CPU.


 * (10 minutes) We will watch the Brainpop, Jr. movie "Parts of a Computer" and will complete the "Name the Parts" activity.
 * (10 minutes) We will then look at our pictures and color each part of the computer as follows:
 * CPU (red)
 * Monitor (blue)
 * Keyboard (yellow)
 * Mouse (green)
 * (10 minutes) We will then go back to "Taking a Trip," which the students love (and are still working to master)!
