We are off on a new adventure!
I hope you all are healthy. Know that you are in my prayers! As we navigate this new situation, you will learn how to use the Internet! What an adventure we are taking! I thought you might enjoy some activities using the skills we've learned in class! Reach out to me with any questions or concerns! But remember, there are no grades in specials during the remote learning experience! But you can learn while having fun and taking a break from your olther classes. Let me know what you are doing and how you like this computer learning stuff!
I'd love to hear from you! Let me know how you are doing!
WEEK OF MAY 18
As we wind down the year, it is a good time to practice your keyboarding and coding skills. Log on to Code.org; the 5th grade class code is ZNVVYZ. If you need your personal secret words, email me at margaret@stmatts.org. Have some fun with an online typing game or Code.org!
WEEK OF MAY 11Have you noticed that I link words all the the time to web pages and documents? These are called hyperlinks. You can make them too! Try it!
- Find a web page you like
- Copy the web address (right click on the web address and click copy)
- Open a Word or Excel file; you can use this with Keynote, Pages, Google Docs etc but the commands will be in a different location
- Highlight a word.
- Right click on the word and on the menu find the word LINK
- Click on LInk
- In the box marked address, right click paste
Now you have a hyperlinked word! You can select pictures and hyperlink pictures the same way. (Instead of highlighting word, click on picture) Give it a try!
WEEK OF MAY 4Happy 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!
I have posted three files to help you: a video, written instructions, and a sample card:How to make a card video

I thought you might need a little extra time to complete the Keynote presentation for your Saint. Now make a Holy Card for your saint. Here is a video to show you how to do it and the written instructions follow to help you remember! I'd love to see your Holy Cards...Save as a PDF and have your parents email the PDF to me! Have Fun!

Written Steps to make Business cards/Holy cards
WEEK OF APRIL 13Here are some tools to help you with your Saints presentation in Keynote. One is an online tutorial about using Keynote. The other is a presentation I made that lists the steps to doing the various tasks in Keynote. So one link will show you the steps to use Keynote, the other will list those steps! Use together for a complete less on Keynote. Good Luck on making your presentation. I would love to see your work! Have your parents send through Email.
WEEK OF APRIL 6
Settling into this Remote learning stuff yet? I thought I would enjoy skipping out on classes! But when you are supposed to stay away from school, it isn't as much fun! Skipping with permission-not good! Are you ready for another activity? How about building a graph? Graphs can be found on any spreadsheet program, but the commands will be in different places. Here are some instructions, based on MS Excel, for building a database on an Excel worksheet and then graphing that information.
For Excel: Watch the first 3 videos to make a line graph
For Google Doc (Sheets): Here is a quick tutorial video
Treat Chart Part 1
Welcome back! I hope you are acing this Remote Learning! It gets easier each week! How about another fun activity--or at least the continuation of a fun activity.
WEEK OF MARCH 31
We made a word search in class just before Spring Break. We all used the skills for the word search, but not everyone finished. Besides maybe you want to build a word search to learn vocabulary and spelling for your other classes. Maybe you just want to make up something fun to do with friends and family online! Maybe you can make a word search for your parents! Anyway, I thought I would put the instructions out there this week for making a word search. Use whatever words you want to use. Click here for instructions.
How about make the word search fancy! Decide in advance on a shape (circle, triangle, find a picture). Now only fill in the cells with letters that make that shape. Give it a try!
The short videos were made using the Zoom.com website. Please do not expect an Oscar worthy performace! I am much better in the classroom, I promise!
