Computers and Technology

Technology is an integral part of our daily classroom experiences.

Computers: Each of our kindergarten classrooms has four computers in addition to a teacher work station with computer to ceiling-mounted projector hookup. Each class has Internet access and is networked to a color laser printer. Our goals for integrating computers in the classroom are:

• The children work on computers EVERYDAY!
• The children learn the basic skills upon which future computer instruction will occur.
• The children see the usefulness of computers in their everyday lives.
• The children are exposed to a variety of software that integrate skills and concepts with other areas of the curriculum.
• The children use computers to create original pictures, stories and projects
• The children work individually and with partners, both on student and teacher selected activities and programs.
• The children are instructed by their classroom teacher or in the Lower School Computer Lab by our instructional technologist, Mrs. Anna Baralt.

Calculators: We have calculators for each child in a class. Calculators are used frequently in our math program for everything from numeral recognition to skip counting to addition and subtraction.
