Wise Elementary School - Computer Lab

Meet Mrs. Ray

In 1964 I graduated from Stephen F. Austin, in Nacogdoches. I began my employment at Chapel Hill ISD in the spring of 1979. The four years before that I was a substitute for CHISD. I had several assignments before coming to Wise in the Fall of 1987. My assignment was the Dyslexia facilitator. In the Fall of 1992 Wise started the Computer Lab. We began with 12 Apple IIe computers. Eventually part of the Library was enclosed to add 12 more Apple IIe computers. We have had two other computer brands before getting the IBM computers we have in the Lab now. Each year we try to add at least one new program. I enjoy working with the children in the computer lab. I have the privilege of working with all the children at Wise.

Technology News

This third six weeks of the 2007-08 school year has been success for the students. We added several technology terms to our word wall. We have learned what hardcopy, hardware and software are. I’m sure your student would like to share this newly learned information with you!

We are using Jump Start Preschool for our P-K and Head Start students. It is a good program to help them learn their numbers, shapes, colors and letters. It is presented in a fun and entertaining way.
First grade students have been using math programs to help them with their math skills. They are working on addition and skip counting. We are using Jump Start Phonics to reinforce the phonics they are learning in the class room. We have also been working on rhyming words.
Second grade students have been using programs to help them with their spelling, skip counting and greater and less than. Computer programs are a fun way to work on this. However, they also need some real life practice.

Computer time is always a pleasant learning experience for all of our students!!
