Week of Sept. 11

We do not have a required reading this week, so I will comment on the projects I've been working on. While I was overwhelmed at first, so far I have found them to be very "doable." I have honestly been surprised at what I've been able to do! My husband is impressed (he is especially intrigued with "Mail Merging") and wants me to keep notes of these so I can teach him how to do them as well. He nor I knew so much was available on Microsoft Word!

Although I do not have a computer in my classroom, these skills are going to be useful in my class preparations. Now my handouts, quizzes, and even tests can be more interesting for first graders to view with the simple addition of a border or graphic. And, who's to say I won't have a computer in my classroom one day where I can introduce United Streaming?

I know the Power Point tutorial will be coming soon, and I have been looking forward to learning how to do this. Once again, it is a bit intimidating to me right now, but I hope I will be just as surprised as its ease as I have been with everything else.
