We finished our computer lessons at Prairieview this week. Third graders took the information they got from World Book Online for Kids and typed a short text document using Open Office. They enjoyed changing the font and size of their work. Fourth graders reviewed using Google Image to get a picture and save it. They imported their pictures into a text document and added a few sentences based on the information they got from World Book Online for Students. Fifth graders had a chance to develop an inspiration document. They particularly enjoyed using the large library of symbols and pictures in the program.
Math-A-Thon donations have been coming in at Ide. I haven't added up the results because I expect some more to come in. It looks pretty good. The folks at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital will be well pleased.
When I arrived at Ide this week, there was a box of new books sitting on the desk. This completes one of our large fall orders. New books are always a great pleasure. Mrs. Drope set right to work on the processing. I will be working on the cataloging and they should be on the shelf soon.
