October

It is hard to believe that we are finished with the 1st quarter.  The computer lab is buzzing with lots of activity.

We concentrated on keyboarding during the month of September.  I encourage the kids to continue this at home-there are several sites the kids can visit on the "Links for Everybody" page of my blog.  This skill will pay off big time when your kids begin typing research papers.

Third, fourth, fifth and sixth graders will be focusing on different ways to present information during the month of October.  We will look at Google Presentations, as well as several others.  The younger kiddos will be learning how to log in to Study Island as well as their email accounts.  We will practice first on paper and then move on to the computers.

October 21st-25th in National Digital Citizenship Week.  We will spend the week focusing on activities that promote good citizenship online.

Hope you are enjoying the fall weather!
