Academic Resources at Incarnation


Welcome to ICS computer lab

 

My name is Mrs. Marjorie Kagoo, the computer teacher at ICS. I have been with the school since 2005. I love teaching computers to all grades and enjoy the challenge.

Here at ICS we have a state of the art computer lab that serves students Prekindergarten through 8th grade.

In addition, we also have a laptop lab. All grades from PK through 8th grade use the computer lab at least once a week. Middle school uses the computer lab twice a week in addition to the laptop lab.

Through the year we learn, work hard, grow and in the process have fun.

 

Our goals:

  1. Teach and guide the students to be computer literate for their grade.
  2. Focus on and improve their Typing skills.
  3. Being safe and responsible while using the computer
  4. Work with teachers and enhance the learning ability of the child by using computers as an additional source.

 

The Computer lab is a place to

Explore

Learn

Be creative

Think

Reason

Have fun!

 

Here are some of the software programs students’ uses in the curriculum:

  1. Kidpix 4
  2. Mavis Beacon teaches typing version 16
  3. Microsoft Office
  4. Letterbugs
  5. Kidspiration
  6. Missing links

 

In addition students use the computer lab for:

Standards:

In a structured, nurturing environment, students will become comfortable with technology and learn skills as detailed by the Shelby county technology standards and the National educational technology standards (NETS).

It is a great passion for me to work with young children, and to help guide them into intelligent, moral, and happy young adults/students. Throughout the year, I will be meeting on one on with any students who would like to talk with me about an issue or problem. Also, I will do classroom guidance lessons on different topics the students need to be reminded of during the year.

The main goal of everyone at ICS is to make sure we have Christ-centered, child-focused education. I want all children to feel loved, safe, and happy, but also to learn great life lessons during these wonderful years of their life.

Incarnation Catholic School LIBRARY

Incarnation Catholic School Library is a place to enjoy great books, learn about accessing information, share ideas with classmates and explore the world through print, internet, audio-visual media and activities.  The library is rarely a quiet place, but is instead a place where everyone has the opportunity to speak, listen, read, and write.  We may recite poetry, sing a song, tell a story with puppets or dramatize a story.I hope the library will be a welcoming place to which, like a favorite book, students will want to return again and again.

GOALS:
To promote literacy of all media.
To inspire the joy of reading.
To support the classroom teacher through collaboration of standards and assistance with materials.

The Library is open 7:45 am to 3:00 pm Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.
All activities are aligned with classroom and CDOM School Library Curriculum Standards.
Current Holdings:  9,265 books, 87 audio books, 236 videos, and 8 magazine subscriptions.
