Please Be Patient - Pictures Sometime Take a While To Load!

It is clear that we currently live in the "Internet age". While computers can sometimes be a bit intimidating, learning how to use them will become an essential part of education for children who are the kindergartners of today. For these children, computers will soon become an important way of getting needed information about many things, communicating with others, and performing a range of school related tasks. As your child gets older, he or she will probably come to use computers in ways we, as parents, have never even considered.

While all learning tasks should be presented at a level that is developmentally appropriate, it is not too early to begin to acquaint your child with the computer and show them how the computer can be both useful and fun.

While we highlight the role of the computer in our kindergarten classroom it is also important for parent and child to work together in learning about the computer and how to safely use the internet. Please help your child become familiar with the parts of this website that relate to our class. I think you will find that your child will enjoy seeing the activities of our class highlighted and some of his/her work displayed on the web - for the whole world to see. I hope your child will find this website to be fun and that you will find it to be informative.

While many families have computers in the home, some may not. If you don't happen to have a computer yet, you and your child can gain FREE access this web site via the Alachua FreeNet, which you can connect to by using one of the 150 computers located at the Main Library on University Avenue, the Tower Road Library, or a number of other branch libraries located throughout Alachua county.

Below I have provided links to a number of other websites that may be of interest to you and your child. If you find some that you think your child would learn from, explore these sites with them. Note that some sites present material that is appropriate for children of different ages. Review these sites to determine the material that is most consistent with your child's developmental level and, hence, most appropriate for your child.

To access these links, simply run your cursor over the link and click on the left mouse button to go to the site.
