What Did We Do All Week?

Friday arrived! It's here! It's today! If it wasn't Friday, I would definitely have to call in sick tomorrow. We've been very busy in the lab this week working on hall displays for Thanksgiving and Christmas.

The second graders have been learning how to manipulate Microsoft Office Word. They learned how to choose and change their font and the font size. And they created their own Thanksgivingy tongue twisters--they also know about alliteration now.

Here are few for y'all:

Yep. We've been very busy this week! :)

Have a fantastic weekend, y'all!

JP- We don't either. It seems we're moving more and more towards computer generated work. Even the standardized tests are going in that direction.

Man! those second graders are WAY AHEAD of me. You are certainly a good teacher to get them this far ahead of the norm! I'm still working on learning Micro Soft office!!!

Rosemary- Hahaha! I think the key here is that kids are quick learners and not afraid to push a button. :) Thanks!

I do find it distressing that they aren't learning cursive, but man are they gonna be computer whiz kids! I think they're born with computer skills these days!

nancy- I don't think kids around here have been taught cursive since my girls were in school. I agree with you on the computer skills too.

Thank you so much for taking the time to comment! It makes me feel connected to everyone even though we may live far apart! Have a wonderful day!

Welcome!

Being a transplant to the low-country of SC for 31 years is still not long enough to be called a ‘benyeh.’ If I stay until I’m dead I’ll probably go a ‘comeyeh’ since I am, originally, ‘from off’ (which is the upstate but, rules you know). By day I take care of my sweet little granddaughter, Baby M and do all those things I did when I was a SAHM raising four daughters which has translated to, ‘by day, I am exhausted.’ By night I blog, blog, blog, and blog some more or I sleep, depending on my level of exhaustion (do they still make Geritol?). I have a very unhealthy addiction to sweets (nearly any kind will do) and all comfort foods not covered under the ‘sweets’ category. I’m known for speaking my mind so, if you don’t want to know, don’t ask me. I love to find the humor in my empty nest life. I live life hard and smack into that brick wall almost daily because I’ve always had to learn the hard way. Why change now? I’m so glad you’ve come to laugh with me as I do this middle age, empty nest thing like a BOSS!
