Week 5 • Sept 30-Oct 4
HOMECOMING WEEK :)
Fun and busy week, but learning goes on!
Keyboarding -10-15 min daily. I'm seeing daily improvements.
Google Spreadsheets - We are currently using Google Spreadsheets (Similar to Excel) to create and compete in a a game of Battleship. Students are learning the basics and navigation of spreadsheet software. (And they are having FUN!)
COMING UP- Cyber Safety. Please look for an informational letter later this week. I encourage you to have family discussions on this topic at home. Ask your students what social networks they belong to. Ask them if they know of any issues that happen either in our out of school. What are your child's concerns? My intent in this unit is to open the door to discussions and provide information. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns regarding this topic.
Next week- Conferences!
