Our children get a head start on their computer skills through weekly lessons. Each lesson is presented to a group of five to six children, each stationed at their own computer, equipped with headphones for lessons that use audio files. These small group lessons allow the teacher to provide individual support as needed. The lessons integrate with the content of our language and mathematics content being taught in the classroom. We explore Letterland games, mathematic games and perceptual skill activities using a variety of platforms and applications to explore digital tools. Lessons are interactive and educational.
