Mr. Tarnopol's Technology Toolbox

The Read Across America program will continue this year during the month of March. As we celebrate Dr. Seuss’s Birthday, we will also be celebrating the joy of reading. There will be one more celebration during the month of March as we look for Leprechaun Tarnopol’s Pot of Gold in a St. Patrick’s Day Internet Scavenger Hunt.

Our students will be taking a cyber journey though the Circulatory System, learning how the Heart and the other parts of the Circulatory System work. This lesson goes along with the Physical Education Health lessons. More information about the Circulatory System, and some other body systems, is available though the Heart Link on the Technology Toolbox.

The sounds of math facts are heard though out the school, and it is no different in the Computer Lab. Links for Math Facts may be found on Mister Tarnopol’s Technology Toolbox. These drills are accessible at home as well as at school. (Click on Math below)

The Computer Lab is expecting an exciting visitor beginning in the month of March. Alice will be joining us as we explore the world of programming. Alice is a teaching program that allows our students to begin to work with programming concepts. Alice is brought to us at no charge by Carnegie Mellon University. Information about the Alice Program, and a downloadable free copy of Alice, is available at http://www.alice.org/ . (My students know to ask permission before they download any programs.

We are recycling in the Computer Lab. Ink cartridges, laser cartridges, and old cell phones may be turned in at the collection boxes in the front lobby or brought into the Computer Lab. In addition to saving landfill space, this recycling provides some funds for our school. Businesses interested in assisting in this endeavor are welcome to contact Mr. Tarnopol at ftarnopol@freelake.org.

Last Week's Brain Teaser was:

How could the 22nd and 24th U.S. Presidents have the same parents, but weren’t brothers? POTUS (President of the United States) 22 and POTUS 24 were the same man: Grover Cleveland-the only President of the United States to serve two separate terms as President.

This Week's Brain Teaser is:

Mr. Tamm has 20 hats. He has 3 red hats. He has 1 less yellow hat than red hat. He has 1 more blue hat than red hat.
To find the number of green hats, add the number of yellow hats to the number of blue hats. The rest of his hats are orange.

How many hats are red?
How many hats are yellow?
How many hats are green?
How many hats are blue?
How many hats are orange?
