Our Elementary & Middle School Technology classes are designed to assist students to become competent, responsible Digital Citizens with projects/assignments designed for their grade level.  Using primarily Google programs, they learn proper keyboard skills/commands to help them write effectively and design written documents.  They create and use slide presentations, spreadsheets, charts/graphs, create/edit an image, design objects, illustrations and diagrams.  We study online safety, cyber bullying, social networking, plagiarism, how to conduct effective and accurate searches, as well as learn computer terms and Internet History.  We explore numerous educational websites, introduce coding & collaborate with other classes to perform STEM activities which help students develop and improve problem solving skills, logic and creativity.  K-8 students have their own Google account and use Google Classrooms.  K-4 use classrooms  chromebooks, while 5-8 use personal chromebooks.

We teach the fundamental elements of melody, harmony, rhythm and form providing a learning environment for students to develop musical knowledge, skills and understanding.  Music activities include a variety of opportunities for students to sing, play instruments, move to music, listen and analyze, learn musical notation, create & compose, perform, read, write and study the history of music.

Learning a second language provides many benefits including improved listening, speaking, reading/writing skills and cultural awareness with emphasis on communication.  We offer Spanish K-8.  By studying the cultures and learning essentials of the language, it strengthens their cognitive skills, supports the native language of students and reinforces English grammar.  We use interactive notebooks, videos, books, websites, songs, games, projects and activities that motivate to appreciate the cultures and succeed in the fundamental communication of the language.
