Welcome the the home of science and technology at Bailey Elementary School. You will notice links above that correspond with the grade of your child. Inside each link, you will see a variety of web pages that you can access from home our anywhere you have internet access. While we do think these sites are great places for your children to visit, we do recommend you fully supervising them while on the computer to ensure their safety. If you have any questions or want to add a great site to the list, feel free to e-mail me. I would love to talk to you!

1- Our goal for first grade at Bailey is to build on the skills of kindergarten. While the ideas are the same on paper, the depth to which we take the lessons will be more challenging. Our students will continue to experience the different types of technology available in our school including our interactive white board, cameras in the classroom, website interactions and slightly more developed understanding of computer programs such as Microsoft PowerPoint and Paint. During 1st grade, we will also introduce the basic movie concept with the free download of Photo Story 3 from Microsoft. Our biggest goal in 1st grade is to get the students comfortable in and around basic programs. All students will be provided with basic internet and computer safety skills as well as technology safety for their future benefit using http://firewall.wikispaces.com/.
