Howdy Techies!

Welcome to Semester Two!

If you are here, you are probably in my Computer Literacy or Image Design course. Feel free to look around and view the past posts. I will update this blog every week with tips and tricks, so check back often!

I am excited to work with all of you this semester. In Comp Lit, we are going to learn a lot about the internet, word processing, spreadsheets, e-mail, blogging and other tech-eriffic stuff. In Image Design, we will manipulate photos and images using Gimp, a free online program.

I will give +5 Extra Credit points per month to those of you who comment on this blog (no last names please). You can join the site by clicking on "Join this site" under Befriend on the left of this page.

Check your Comp Lit and Image Design courses for calendars and assignments. Then, let me know if you need help with anything.

Oh, the Weather Outside is...

                        ...frightful? 
                                            ...delightful?
                                                                   ...sunny?
                                                                                    ...cloudy?

Here is a fun science + language arts printable for students to complete when learning about the weather. You can use it as a journal booklet or print separate activity pages for your kiddos to work on. I use the "When it's ________ I like to..." writing and illustration pages to create a super cute bulletin board display!
