We're Really Jumping In!

This was our second full week of Microsoft Word and it was really great! We learned how to format a Memo at the beginning of the week. The trickiest part of that was trying to explain what a carbon copy was! My students were not at all familiar with the old fashioned carbon paper I used to carefully place between my sheets of typing paper to make copies. Imagine that! Next year I will make sure to buy some to have on hand so they can see it, if you can still buy it. We also learned about Tab stops, Borders, Margins and setting hanging indents. Ask your student to show you how to do some of these things, it might be fun! 

Microsoft Word

This was our first week learning about Microsoft Word! We learned the proper names for all of the parts of the screen in Word as well as learning how to create and save documents in the correct place. We ended the week with a quiz covering what we had learned and most everyone did really well! Next week we will learn about some of the more specific commands that are commonly used in formatting documents. Also we will have our first FBLA meeting this Friday morning at 7:15 in the AV Room. Make sure your students are there if they are interested!

Labor Day is Almost Here!

We are continuing to memorize our key reaches in Keyboarding and we are nearing the end! We will have completed all of the letter keys by next Friday and will be moving on. Each student will be taking a 1 minute timed writing next Friday and this will count as a test grade. Their grade will be based on how many words they can type per minute less any errors they make. Most of the students are doing a great job with this! I hope everyone has a enjoyable holiday on Monday!
