What's Happening?

During your child's computer time we will use many programs including Kid Pix, Kidspiration, Inspiration, Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Excel, Publisher, and Photo Story. Students will learn internet safety and will practice proper keyboarding skills--as well as proper mouse skills for our kindergartners.  Our goal is to provide the foundational technology skills necessary for our students to demonstrate, apply and communicate their learning so they will succeed in a global community.  

As we get started this year the kindergartners are learning about the parts of a computer, how to log on and off of the computers, and how to use the mouse to click, double-click, and click and drag objects. First through fifth graders are taking the SRI and Star reading assessments in the lab and are refreshing their keyboarding skills.  Your students continue to amaze me with what they can do!
