The Holidays are
approaching and …
Happy Thanksgiving!
Let us pause and give THANKS for all
we have been blessed with.
First Grade Students The students have been successful in logging on and off the computers using the control, alt, and delete keys. They know how to access the start menu and log-off button. The students have been working in the Microsoft Paint Program. They will be working in this program until January learning many of the Paint components. They have been introduced to the oval, rectangle, triangle and shift key. The shift key is held down when drawing a circle and square. They are encouraged to practice the skills accomplished in their computer class at home.
Second, Third and
Fifth Grade Students
Internet safety classes will continue through November. The above grades were introduced to the new Common Sense Media Internet Safety Program. The students will develop an understanding of the concept of community, personal safety, and the need to make responsible choices. Students will be able to express their ideas and reinforce concepts through group discussions.
The second and third grade will take an on-line field trip with the FBI to re-enforce the concepts covered on safety. Other topics covered will be the Community they live in, Cyber Community, Viruses, Bullying, Cyber bullying, Gaming and e-mail.
Fifth grade will be discussing the topics of inappropriate websites, On-line Behavior, Gaming, Identity Safety, Cyber Bullying, Intellectual Property, Social Networking, Cell Phone Safety, texting and cell photos.
The parent tip sheets and any other pertinent information or assessments completed in class will be sent home for the students to share with you. Please discuss the Importance of Internet Safety and what your family rules are in your home. Please think about the placement of your computer. They should never be put in a bedroom where you cannot see what is going on.

and read what is going on in Cyberspace. There are so many things changing on a
daily basis. Please talk to your children about Facebook. There are 500 million
registered users. There are approximately 7.5 million kids under 13 on
Facebook. Facebook isn't supposed to be used by children under 13.
