Computer

       Computer classes are always exciting and creative.  Children who visit the Rolling Hills Computer Lab know how to launch  programs such as "Graph Club" which is used to create charts and graphs of the weather, favorite pets, or almost anything!

    All of the children at Rolling Hills have been working with many programs that allow them to create, explore and interact. Some of these programs, are Bailey's Bookhouse, Carnival Countdown, Discover Time,  Numbers Undercover, Word Munchers and Zoozillions.  Kidspiration is a visual learning tool that helps children to organize and categorize information.  Students are able to brainstorm ideas, make connections, and communicate their thoughts through the use of graphics, letters and words. They can create webs, graphic organizers and super groupers as a culminating activity. 

   Technology is a wonderful tool to promote children's cognitive and social abilities. This software provides our students with educational experiences that are interesting and enjoyable.  The programs are all curriculum related and address the New York State Standards as well as each grade level benchmark for achievement and understanding.
