Description	Kinder will solve problems continued from last week involving spatial reasoning and sequence.   Students will read for information by way of a pictorial / textual roadmap. Children will follow non-verbal directions in navigating to the website.	First grade will solve problems involving spatial reasoning and sequence.   Students will read for information by way of a pictorial / textual roadmap. Children will follow non-verbal directions in navigating to the website.	Second grade will explore movies and pictorial images of inventors of airplanes they will then attempt to build their own airplane. Materials: tape,  paper-clips, paper, toothpicks. Students will then try to devise their own airplane.	Third grade will explore movies and pictorial images of inventors of airplanes they will then attempt to build their own airplane. Materials: tape,  paper-clips, paper, toothpicks. Students will then try to devise their own airplane.	Fourth grade will explore movies and pictorial images of inventors of airplanes they will then attempt to build their own airplane. Materials: tape,  paper-clips, paper, toothpicks.

TEKS	(K.8) Geometry and spatial reasoning. The student uses attributes to determine how objects are alike and different.	(1.4) Patterns, relationships, and algebraic thinking. The student uses patterns to make predictions.	2.4) Scientific processes. The student uses age-appropriate tools and models to verify that organisms and objects and parts of organisms and objects can be observed, described, and measured.	(3.4) Scientific processes. The student knows how to use a variety of tools and methods to conduct science inquiry. (3.3) Scientific processes. The student knows that information, critical thinking, and scientific problem solving are used in making decisions	4.3) Scientific processes. The student uses critical thinking and scientific problem solving to make informed decisions. (4.2) Scientific processes. The student uses scientific inquiry methods during field and laboratory investigations	5.4) Scientific processes. The student knows how to use a variety of tools and methods to conduct science inquiry. (5.3) Scientific processes. The student uses critical thinking and scientific problem solving to make informed decisions.
Progression	All classes begin with a demonstration on the big screen TV which includes modeling the expected skills and behaviors which is followed by group practice and scaffolding. Learners are then dismissed to a computer to do individual work / practice / discovery. Each session is closed with a group review of what we have accomplished and how it fits into what we will do in the coming weeks.
Special Ed. Modifications	Teachers are encouraged to place exceptional children in the front of the line when they assemble outside of the Computer Centre. This affords them a close proximity to the instruction.  Individual attention / interaction is provided by the programmed user interface response as well as the improved ratio two professional educators afford.
