We are off on a new adventure!

I miss you!  I would love to be with you exploring word processing in the classroom this quarter! Instead, I will be posting some fun word activities. Come back next week for another fun activity. But remember, no grades in Specials during remote learning! Just use these activities for a break and have some fun!  Know that I think of each of you. You are in my prayers and I hope to see you all again soon!   Let me what you are doing and how you like all this computer learning stuff!

WEEK OF MAY 11-18

We would normally spend this time at the end of the year practicing our keyboarding.  Have you used your keyboarding skills during this remote learning time?  Next year you will be tempted to use one finger typing because of the Ipad--but don't forget how to use a keyboard!  If you want a break during the next couple of weeks, try the online typing program!   Or use your typing and formatting skills to send notes to your teachers! This summer use a word processing program (Word, Google Docs, Pages) to create a journal of your activities. There are all kinds of ways to use your Keyboarding skills!

WEEK OF MAY 4

Happy Mother's Day-May 10, 2020!

Let's make a Mother's Day card using MS Word--or any word processor.  I would rate my video as a B-Movie (meaning, not great!) because I had so many interruptions! I hope you will muddle through it and make a beautiful card for your Mom-or whoever provides that love and support in your family! No every  "Mom" has to be a  "Mom"; it could be an aunt, uncle,  sister, brother, grandmother, grandad, or you dad!  Honor that person that loves and cares for you!

You have learned most of the skills needed to make the card.  New skills include making columns and changing from Portrait to Landscape Orientation.  The video shows you how to do this!

I have posted three files to help you: a video, written instructions, and a sample card:

Week of April 27

Now that you have entered Green Eggs and  Ham into your word processor, it is time to make it interesting. Use skills you already know to add/change attributes like font face face adn font size.

I hope you enjoyed making the Easter card!  Before we jump into another word processing project, take this week to practice your typing skills. Try this ghostly game!  Type the words that appear on the Ghosts!  (If you have sound, be sure it is on-lots of eerie sounds!) Have fun!

Week of April 6 - Holy Week

It is time to finish the Easter Poem and make it pretty and interesting! After you type in the words and format the color, let's change the alignment, add some Word Art (in MS Word only) and a picture.  Watch this video (in MP4 format) to help you with these tasks (and be patient, I am not an Oscar winning actress yet!):

I hope  you have a Blessed Easter and see it as a sign of hope for the days to come!

This week we will do a review of keyboarding. I’ve attached a link to a great free online keyboard program.  No one should start on beginner! Have some fun with the games too.
