Welcome to Technology Class & The 1st Grade Tech Blog!

Can you believe that you are now 1st Graders? I hope you had a great time this summer! I am so excited about teaching you again this year and I am looking forward to working on some fun technology projects with you. These are the things we will do during class today:

1. Talk about the rules for Technology class.
2. Learn how to use the 1st Grade Technology Blog.
3. Watch a short video about patterns.
4. Go to your own computer and practice recognizing patterns by playing the games I have listed below.  
5. If we have time after you have finished both games, you will draw your own pattern using Pixie. Don't forget to type your name.

Games to practice patterns:
