Making a Bar Graph

Fifth graders have been learning how to use excel in various ways. We can't believe all the possibilities! One of our favorite new skills we learned last week was how to make a bar graph simply by adding our own data into the spreadsheet. Let's keep practicing, but this time with our own responses. Click on the survey link below and choose one answer for each question. Then, pick one survey question and transfer the results into Excel yourself. Good luck!

#MacysBelieve

 

 

It's that time of year! Macy's is holding their annual campaign with the Make-a-Wish Foundation, a great non profit organization that grants wishes to children with life threatening illnesses. To support this great foundation, Macy's will donate $1 for each letter you write. You can drop off your letter to any Macy's store or submit one online by clicking the picture above. Help Macy's reach 1 million dollars in donation.

Cyber Awareness Month

As we know, October is cyber awareness month. However, we should always remember to keep cyber safety in mind every time we log on, connect with others online, or post and share with our friends and family. The Internet is an exciting place that allows us to reach others near and far (like I am doing right now!), however, we should remember that with this great "power" comes great responsibility.  Be smart when online and T-H-I-N-K! Ask yourself, is it True? Helpful? Inspiring? Necessary? and Kind?

10 Fast Fingers!

This year we will be focusing on our W-P-M...or "words per minute." This is the number that represents how fast we can type. Similiar to a car's speed that is shown by "Miles Per Hour", our WPM tells us how many words we can type per minute. Click on the link below to take a quick one minute timed test and see your WPM. Can you beat your score by the end of the year? I bet you can!
