Summary
This project helped me see how using technology
could enhance the learning of very young
children. There are many different types of
technology, and finding the right one for very
young students is not always easy.. You need to
know your student and your audience.

Taking a standard and creating a lesson around it
is a skill that more people need to attempt. I
hope to be able to use the lessons that others
have created in this project. I have learned a
lot from this project. I hope to use some of the
skills I have learned to educate others.

Activities 1
Sounds of Home After hearing a story about home
and sounds the students folded a paper into
fourths. In each square they drew a picture of
something they heard at that particular time of
day.

Activities 2
Family chart After the students had their family
pedigree chart filled out they placed the family
member on the family tree.
