Computer Lab Spotlight August - September 2012

Greetings!  Finally, there is a display up for K-3rd Grade to recognize classes for their accomplishments in the Computer Lab.  I haven't forgotten about 4th and 5th.  Your classes should be represented on the display in a few days.  All thanks to Ms. Bell for putting my thoughts into action.  For this period so far, I would like to spotlight the following classes based on things that I've observed:


K - Mrs. Woods - Putting back headphones and pushing up chairs without a reminder
2nd - Mrs. Byrd - Requiring students to type in their own website address
2nd - Mrs. Collins - Using the Smartboard to direct students on typing in their own website address
3rd - Mrs. Fields for supplying a class list for EAST quickly
4th - Mrs. Vanpatter for supplying a class list for EAST quickly

In case I missed a class, thanks to all classes that have remembered to

(1) Use class/school rules and procedures in that lab as they apply.
(2) Use low and calm voices and only necessary movements.
(3) . . . close all programs, put back headphones, push up chairs, and take all belongings/throw away trash.

I look forwarding to SEEING you in the lab.
