Websites [|Jelly Bean Graphing lesson plan]This is a great lesson plan I found that focuses on constructing graphs using the computer. It is very usable for Pre-K children and it reaches one of our grade level benchmarks. I have my class construct graphs on paper, but I never thought of using a computer program instead.

[|Sea Animal Creations] I found this lesson plan that I would have to change a bit to make it a bit easier, but we do have the program that the lesson asked for at school in the computer lab. After learning about sea animals, which we do each year, the children create one or draw one using the computer. We can then label them using word processing and I can make it into a class slide show. I could also share it with parents on our classroom website.

[|Build a Snowman Lesson] I found this lesson that focuses on snow and snowmen which we do every year. As a conclusion to the lesson the students create a snowman on this fun website that is really easy to use. The kids would really enjoy it and we could prin their pictures when they are done or make a slideshow with them.

[|Counting Crocodiles]This is a fun lesson plan idea that focuses on counting which is a benchmark in our curriculum The program link did not work, but we have Kidspiration programs at school. The lesson sounds like a fun way to practice counting using the computer.
