Week 2 -Sept 14

The computer lab is open to all classes this week! Parents - be sure to look for the computer lab signup sheet at Back to School Night.

Grades 4-6 will be practicing their word processing skills by writing poems based on their names. We will also be doing some math practice.

Grades 1-3 will start the assessments in Let's Go Learn. Once students have finished the assessments they can do activities and games based on their individual skills.

Kindergarten students will be doing some computer art activities designed to help them become familiar with using the mouse and controlling the computer.

Welcome Back!

Welcome back to school!

The computer lab will open this week to the 4th through 6th grade classes. Students will be practicing some basic word processing skills such as changing the font, size, and alignment of their text. We will also become familiar with Spell-It, a set of word games based on spelling lists.

I'm looking forward to a great year in the computer lab!
