If you look at the west wall (thats the wall opposite the dry erase board) you will see a printout of missing assignments by class. I try to keep this updated every week - if you have missing assignments your name, along with the assignment, will be listed here. This is the same information that can be found on Skyward, so it should not be a surprise. I just like to make sure that you are able to view what you are missing.
If you have a missing assignment that you turn in or complete you may want to go to your class list and cross off your name and the assignment so you are not confused about what is missing.
Todays reminder - if you have vocab definitions for week 2 you need to make sure that you get those definitions completed and posted to the wikispaces page by tonight. Speaking of Wikispaces - Ive already been contacted by several people to help me help them remember their Wikispaces username. This is exactly the reason I spent yesterday showing you how to setup a Google Doc file that holds your usernames and passwords to websites - this is now your responsibility. Creating the file with that information will go a long way towards helping you keep track of that information.
Today we are going to do a little exercise I call blind assignment. We will warm up first, and then Ill explain how this works. Todays exercise will be practice, but we will be doing the same thing on Thursday for a grade. Lets get to it!

Today we are going to review for the vocab quiz (as normal) at the beginning of the hour. I do have 2 more things I want to cover regarding the vocab list so Ill talk about those at the beginning of the hour. When I am done youll then have time to look over the definitions.
Once you are done with the quiz you should complete any missing assignments that you have not yet turned in. This is the second day in a row that you have had class time to complete missing assignments, which is really more than I should be giving you. Please use this time appropriately.
If you are all caught up with assignments I have a handout of Word-it puzzles that you can work on (nothing for a grade - just for fun).

As a reminder, your crossword is due by Friday - if you have yours done you can hand it in now. Also, for those of you who have vocab definitions for next week please make sure to visit the Wiki spaces page outside of class and get your definitions entered.
Today we will review all of the keys on the keypad to start the day.
Once we get done with our review, we will be learning how to add Headers and Footers into a Microsoft Word document. Generally the Header and Footer area is reserved for such things as page numbers, an authors name, or possibly the Section or Chapter that a page is in (or other possible reasons). You will be entering information into the header and footer sections of a document and formatting what you enter.

Having a virus on your computer can slow down your computer, install spy ware, or let hackers into your computer to steal your information.Knowing how to clean your virus-infected computer is easy. Here are some tips to show you how.
As soon as you thing your computer might be infected you should disconnect your computer from the Internet and any networks you computer might be on.This is to ensure that the virus does not spread to other computers.If you have an anti-virus program installed make sure it is updated first then run a full system scan. The anti-virus might not detect the virus if the program is not updated.
Some anti-virus programs will detect the virus, but will not be able to remove it.
If that is the case, you can get a different program but downloading it from a non-infected computer or you can go to your local computer store and get a different one there.
Most anti-virus programs will ask you to restart you computer after it is finished scanning. Once you restart you computer run another scan to make sure that the virus is gone. When you restart your computer make sure that it is still disconnected from the Internet and other networks.
The best way to combat against viruses is to be cautious of programs and files you download. Do not open any e-mail messages or attachments you do not recognize. Get a good anti-virus program that is updated frequently and run system scans regularly.

As a reminder there is no vocab quiz this week. However, this is a great time for those of you who still have vocab definitions to post to get those completed. There are 4 vocab weeks left, so that means that most of you (if not all of you) will still be responsible for defining words on at least one occasion. Please use this time (meaning this week when you dont have a vocab quiz) to get these definitions posted so it isnt hanging over your head and you dont have to scramble on the last day possible to get your definitions posted. Trust me...youll feel much better knowing that youve got it done and out of the way!
For today we are going to start with learning the keypad numbers. This is the completely separate set of number keys out to the right of the alphanumeric keyboard.
The crossword puzzle that you are getting in class today will be due Friday. It covers lists 1-6.

Third, fourth, and fifth grade students are continuing to build their keyboarding skills with Type2Learn. Students are encouraged to practice their keyboarding skills outside of their computer lab time with BBC Dance Mat Typing. Theres a link on the right side of screen under "lesson links."
Fifth grade is working on a persuasive performance assessment. Each class is researching a national park, then using that information to persuade others to visit that park. Theyve each chosen to use one of the following tools to present their persuasive piece: Publisher, PowerPoint, Voki, or Word. Some students are writing scripts for commercials they will create using green screen technology. Well be posting all of the projects on the fifth grade blog, so check them out in a couple of weeks.
Fourth grade is exploring Publisher and the different templates available within the program. Were creating personalized greeting cards for friends and family this week.
Third grade is continuing to explore and learn about Excel. This week we discussed how to select a graph to best display the data. Once we selected a graph, we explored all of the cool features to customize our graphs!
Second grade is previewing simple machines for their unpcoming Forces of Motion unit in Science. First, we discussed pushes and pulls and explained how clip art images illustrated a push, pull, or both. After that, they were introduced to four types of simple machinces and we discussed how they make work easier for us. Finally, they chose a partner and began to edit a PowerPoint template by adding text and clip art images to the slides. After previewing in presentation mode, we saved our PowerPoints. The second grade teachers will then allow the students who completed their presentations to present them to the class or another class during this unit.
First grade has mastered how to locate and interact with the first grade blog from the schools website. This week we are practicing our basic addition and subtraction facts with AAAMath.com! We know that in second grade we are expected to answer 100 basic addition and subtraction facts in 5 minutes or less. This website is a fun way to practice those basic facts! Were also learning about contractions with BrainPOPjr.com and Sadlier-Oxford.com.
Kindergarten has mastered how to locate and interact with the kindergarten blog from the schools website. This week we are practicing our combinations using illuminations.nctm.org.

We are going to start by modifying your Google signature, so youll need to log into your Google account to begin with. As I went through the day yesterday I began to realize that instead of having problems with people copying the wrong web address we can just make a permanent change to your signature by adding a link to your your blog in your signature.
Once we get done with that you will have the rest of the class period to complete FA8. This should be emailed. Make sure that you attach a Microsoft Word file (not a Google Doc), and you will be working with your speed skin on your keyboard.

As we have talked about all week, today is the last day of the Quarter. Make it a good one!!
We will review for the quiz at the beginning of class, and then when I let you know you can go to Classmarker and take the quiz.
Once you have completed the quiz, if you have any missing assignments you are to work on whatever is missing. If you do not have any missing assignments and you are "behind" with the speed test tournament, then Im going to have you compete today to try and catch up so that we have everyone in the same spot. This means many of you will not be competing in the tournament today - I just want to get everyone in the same place since we had several people last week that were absent when we did this.
If you have everything done then you are welcome to go to the practice websites after the vocab quiz.
