Happy Holidays!!!

Last week when we all went to the computer lab and I showed them how to use the basic functions of Microsoft Publisher. We made greeting cards for our families for Christmas. They thought it was so much fun. All we did was pick our own background, play with different colors (even though it prints out black and white), worked with word art and then typed in a message. We will be coloring these next week and sending them home to give their parents with a special ornament that we will be making too!

Guest Speaker =)

We had a guest speaker visit our classroom and he was amazing. He was a 78 year old blind man who told several funny jokes and taught my kids a lot about what it is like to be blind. He did all of my students names in Braille and gave them each a copy; they loved it. After he left we went to the computer lab and typed him some friendly letters. I showed them how to use some different parts of Microsoft Word. We then mailed him all of our friendly letters. He loved them and he plans on writing us all back.
