Parents and Students, 2008-2009
Welcome back! I am looking forward to another great year. Some of the activities planned for this school year include: Visual Mapping Activities, Weather Reports, Poems with graphics, Slide Shows, Web quest, Encyclopedia Britannica Online Research, Google Days, Creative Writing Projects, Research for Wild Animal Reports, Christmas in Other Countries Research, Spreadsheet Projects, Speech Writing, Read Along Stories, Persuasive Writing Essays, Keyboarding Skills and Live Searches.
I have many additional ideas for projects this year that I would like to add to the computer lab curriculum. I look forward to seeing all of the kids and beginning new educational experiences.
God Bless!
