Quarter End

Last Friday, the 23rd, was the end of 1st quarter. I spent the weekend finishing grading your papers and entering your grades into the grade book. I am VERY happy with the grades you have earned in computers this quarter. You have all worked so hard and your typing skills are improving all of the time because of your efforts! Today we start Parent Teacher Conferences and I am excited to talk to your parents and tell them how wonderful you are all doing. My goal for next quarter for 7th grade is to continue improving our typing skills and start learning formatting in Microsoft Word. We will also start working on projects from other classes that require the use of computers. 8th grade, my goal for you is also to continue improving your typing skills. Many of you are great typist and I want you to focus on your accuracy while keeping your speed. We will also continue working with your other classes on projects that require technology. Let me know if you have any questions or comments!

October 5 - October 9

Can you believe we are over half way through with 1st quarter. With that being said, anyone who has missed a day of school and has not made up your missed work needs to come and talk to me. If you miss a day of school, you need to make sure you ask what was missed, and if you need to make it up or not. I have a list of missing assignments, so if you are not sure, come and ask. This week the 8th graders are starting to type numbers as well as working on an essay for Mrs. Rhoades. 7th graders, you are researching and writing about your favorite Civil War Days person. You will also continue on in Typing Time with more typing lessons. If you have any questions, comments, or ideas, let me know! Ms. Bushnell
