This week the fourth grade classes were shown how to get their district email. Which is a very exciting thing to a fourth grader!  This week they learned how to send an email and how to reply to an email with their classmates.

Every student in grades 3 through 5 will pass a Microsoft Word review over the next two weeks. In the review student show that they can do the following in MS Word.
Change the alignment of words (Left, Center and Right)
Change the text size.
Make text Bold, Italic and Underlined.
Change the font style.
Change the font color.
Highlight text.

Although it is not the favorite of the students, we have had to do a lot of online testing of the students this week. We have started to use a new math testing website that we are very happy with. The reports that come out of this website are awesome and should really help teachers work with the students.

At the beginning of each school year I like to review the different areas of Internet Safety. One of the best resources that I have found is Professor Garfield, he does a great job with age-appropriate content that helps our students understand the points of Internet safety. Please talk to your child about what they are learning about Internet safety.
