Summer

Hello and I hope you are having a good summer. Myself and several other teachers have had an opportunity to go to Chicago and learn more about Apple computers. We are excited about what we are learning and can't wait to come back and teach it to you in the fall.

End of 3rd Quarter

This week is the last week of 3rd quarter. The year is going by so fast. 8th graders have finished their typing text book and have moved on to Excel and are learning to make graphs. 7th grade is also working on Excel and learning to do calculations on Excel.

ISAT's Begin

ISAT's begin this week and we will have a very different schedule for school this week. The ISAT schedule will allow us to have much longer class periods and work on bigger projects. 7th grade will be compiling their census information using Microsoft Excel to make charts and graphs. 8th grade will be working on completing their typing book.

3rd Quarter Begins

This quarter we are going to start working on new programs on the computer. Excel and PowerPoint are the two main programs we will learn and use this quarter. We will also continue perfecting our typing skills and formatting in Microsoft Word. The 2010 Winter Olympics start February 12th and we will be using information from the Olympics to do projects.

Almost half way done!!

The year is almost half way over. It has gone really fast. The 8th graders are working on projects for science. They have to use the Internet to find information and pictures about a planet and create a poster about their planet. We will then get back to typing. 7th graders are working on perfecting their typing and learning some formatting skills in Microsoft Word. We are almost done with our typing book and then will begin working on Microsoft Excel and Power Point.
