What are we up to in class?

We are well into our basic computer skill unit. Last week we concluded our introduction to keyboarding. It would be very helpful for the students if they practiced regularly. Please remind your children to use the home row position and to look at the screen as much as possible. They will need to keyboard a lot in their lives.










This week, we started on some other skills. The third and fourth graders are reviewing how to use Open Office Writer. The fifth graders started a tutorial on Inspiration.

Next Thursday afternoon we will have Halloween Parties and on Friday, there is a teachers' institute. I thought it would be a good idea to start sharing Halloween books with the students this week. It has not been hard to stimulate enthusiasm. So far, no one will admit to being scared. The books are just spooky enough for primary students.
