Parent Resource: I recently found a site that I have been using with my own five year old twin boys. It is www.handwritingworksheets.com You can create and print out handwriting practice sheets for free! It has been very helpful for me in working with my own children.

Fifth Grade: Students completed typing special family recipes in PowerPoint. Check back for an update in a few weeks on our final product!

Fourth Grade: Students finished travel brochures for Michigan. I am amazed at how well students can navigate Microsoft Publisher. They also typed Haiku poems that were written with Mrs. Marshall. Their typed poems can be read on their wiki pages.

Third Grade: Students had a free choice Thursday. One great site to check out for grades 2-5 is http://www.kerpoof.com

Second Grade: Students visited www.highlightskids.com This is a terrific site for younger students. There are many games and actitivies that require reading, fine motor skill movement, as well as higher-level thinking skills.

First Grade: Students visited www.brainpopjr.com to play a variety of games in all subjects of the curriculum.
