#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 to Santa a child writes. 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.

 

Word Work

We've been working really hard in computer class. First Graders have typed their way through Level 1 and even some Level 2 stages in Dance Mat. We know the Home Row keys and most of the Top Row by now. Let's practice the keys we learned so far by making beautiful word clouds. Click the picture above to get started.  

How many words can you make from these letters?

  ASDFGHJKL AND WERTYUIO.

Good luck!

Tech Tip

This week we learned our first "tech tip"...all about the sound controls.

We learned not only about special keys to adjust the sound levels on our laptops, but that there is more than one way to do the same thing on a device. Can you find the speaker buttons on your device? Can you find another way to turn the sound up or down, using the "System Volume"? Make sure you remember next week when we test our tech tip knowledge!
