Exploration and drill software provide a fun and entertaining way to practice reading, writing and math skills. Students write for communication with students and mentors via E-mail. Critical thinking and research skills are developed as students interact with Interactive reading, Social Studies and Science CD Rom, software and the internet. Computer use builds self esteem and self confidence as students work independently using programs and doing projects. We welcome parents as partners in the school.
Parent involvement is encouraged.
Afterschool parent and child computer workshops are held. Parents in the Waterford computer program are trained to use the books and videos included to enhance their student's learning experience. Lincoln is a community resource. Grade 4-5 classrooms have three Macintosh multimedia computers with CD Rom. Files are saved to a server and can be accessed from any computer on the network.
