Second Quarter

You all have been working very well completing your Keyboarding Lessons from the MicroType 4 Program. I'm hoping that most of you complete all the Alphabetic Keyboarding Lessons by December 20th. If not take some time this week (December 10) and next week (December 17) to complete as much as you can. Also, don't forget that I need to find at least 6 timings (timed writings 1 - 6 or other) by December 20th as well. Those of you working on the Skill Builder Lessons should continue doing so, as "Accuracy" (first). Once these Lessons A - T are completed (including the five Assessments) you can do them all with "Speed" as the focus. Please check the bottom section of the window that shows all the Skill Builder Lessons, make sure you selected "Focus: Accuracy" (you just click on it to change it).

You are also working in the Group Project (Small Business Adventurers) - our Christmas Project. Please remember to read the instructions carefully and to print the rubric for your group folder. You must pay close attention and complete all the steps mentioned in this rubric. You can also print the instructions if you wish. All of you must have these instructions on your desktop. (Instructions in your class folder in the K Drive - Keyboarding 8).

Make sure each member of your group completed the required assignments: logo, business cards, letterhead, coloring page, wrapping paper, flyer, photo card and newsletter. You must also have a Word Document explaining the purpose of your company, whether you sell products or provide a service, or both. Also include the selected "slogan" there. I need you to have everything completed by Thursday, December 20th, 2012. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask Mrs. Feld.

KAIROS RETREAT: I'll be in the Kairos Retreat as an Adult Leader from Tuesday, December 11 to Friday, December 14. You will have a sub on those days. Please continue with your work and read this blog entry carefully.
