 * Earth Day

=Activity=

Today we will have a very brief discussion of the desktop and special keys. I'll see how far they can go today and will continue this discussion over the next few weeks. Our featured key of the day will be the "escape" key. This will be known as the magical key that can get them out of a fix when something weird pops up on the screen. Our featured desktop character will be the "back arrow."

Once we've had this discussion, we will talk about and celebrate Earth Day (which is Sunday). Look for your student's really cool coloring sheet and let them share the fun games they played in class! We will begin by discussing Five Ways We Can Help Save the Planet, then we will learn to sort recyclables with the game Clean Up Your World, find and sort recyclables in Michael, Michael, Go Recycle!, and wrap up the day by finding the recyclables in Free the Beach!

=Assessment=

Students will be observed and assessed on navigation, decision making, on task behavior, and their processing of activity instructions and applications.
