The 7th & 8th grade
classes have finished writing & designing
the Middle School newsletters, written by each individual homeroom. The
students
used their time in the library
to write and research articles. In computer class, they
typed
and
edited the articles and then did the layout in Microsoft Publisher.

The 6th, 7th & 8th grade
have also been
learning to do time lines in
TimeLiner 5.0.
In addition, they will be spending a lot of time mastering
all of the tools in
Microsoft Word, including outlining, tables
and columns, referencing,
headers / footers and other important features for writing papers.
We have just completed
researching temperatures from
around the world and graphing them with Microsoft Excel.



The students will be
communicating with e-pals and exchange cultural lessons with a classroom in
Italy. We will be sharing our hobbies, daily class schedules, after
school activities and other "daily life" items and comparing them to students
their ages across the ocean.
