12/1 Classroom Update

December 1, 2009
Dear Parents,

We are all settling back into school after our Thanksgiving break and are counting down to finals week! The students are doing great and are soaking up the new material being presented.

Computer Applications
The Computer Applications just finished our Microsoft Word unit and started Microsoft Access today. They created many documents in Word before completing a unit test. I am pleased with the student progress and I know they are ready for the challenging Access unit.

Web Design I
The Web Design I class has been working in Photoshop for the last few weeks. They will start creating websites in Photoshop next week and I am planning on the students having their own websites ready to launch after Christmas.

Web Design II
The advanced web students are doing a great job at getting sports and teacher pages finished and uploaded for the school website. They have also been assigned news stories that will require them to cover more school events. We are trying to cover a wide variety of school events that include sports, clubs and classroom activities.

New Classroom Blog
I recently launched a classroom blog. I am planning on providing the classroom updates and more information in the blog. Check the blog for current classroom information and what your students are working on in the classroom.
