Goodnight First Grade

Students in first grade just listened to the story Goodnight Moon in computer class. They each created a PowerPoint slide saying goodnight to something in their room at home. The slides were then put together to make a complete presentation. Click here to see the shows.

Teach Your Parents

Thursday is Teach Your Parents Computers night for first and second grades. Students can bring in their parents or other adults to teach them how to do different things on the computer. First grade students will be teaching their guests how to type on the home row. Second grade students will be helping their guests make a slide show in Microsoft PowerPoint. The lab will be open from 5:30 to 7:00 pm for people to stop by.

Slide Show Stars

Second and third grade classess have been working three weeks on some excellent slide shows. Second grade students created slide shows about Charlevoix. Third grade researched interesting facts about planets and put them into a slide show. Both grades adjusted layouts, spell-checked and proofread, and added images. Third grade students experimented with animations.

Vote For Us!

Last week Miss Frank read Vote For Duck to the second grade classes. Students made slide shows listing reasons people should vote for them (no mudslinging allowed)! This week they added clip art, used the spell checker (because no one will vote for someone with bad spelling), proofread it themselves (because we are smarter than computers), and shared the shows with the class.
