September 2012 in the Lab

It has been a busy month for 6th grade in the Computer Lab. Here’s a little bit about what they’ve done and you can check out samples of their work on their ePortfolio sites starting in mid-October.

  • Self-Portraits: Every year in the lab, every K-8 student draws a self-portrait. This year 6th Grade used MS Paint to draw their portraits and will be using these as avatars on Edmodo.
  • International Dot Day: All K-8 students participated in this event by drawing dots. Middle School students drew dots to represent how they wish to make their mark in the world and then they wrote a paragraph about their dot in Microsoft Word using MLA format.
  • Excel Crossword Puzzles: All Middle School students learn (or review) how to create a crossword puzzle in Excel. They are required to create a crossword puzzle for their October Book Report.
