M&M's + Excel + Math = Yum!


Let it be known that Mrs. Iglesias loves M&M's, and it was only a matter of time before she worked them into a lesson plan! Mrs. Lopez' class enjoyed a creative, and tasty way of learning how to graph using Microsoft Excel in computer class today. Using our new interactive computer board and projector, Mrs. Iglesias was able to expand student learning by illustrating the project for the entire class to view. Students were then able to sort and count their M&M's by color, enter data points into Excel spreadsheets, and create pie graphs to show results! Way to go 3rd Grade and Mrs. Iglesias!

New technology has allowed teachers to bring lessons to life in fresh ways. In addition to weekly computer classes, grade level teachers are able to bring students into the Computer Lab for learning in every subject area. We would like to see all grade-level classrooms outfitted with similar technology tools that will allow for continued excellence in the classroom. Fundraising events like Fall Festival, help us move toward this reality. You may email Mr. Hewlett at bj.hewlett@ilovefrca.com to find out how you may participate in this endeavor.
