To review the tools in Google Docs, 3rd graders spent the last few weeks typing letters to soldiers to send them some holiday cheer. They practiced paragraph formatting, line alignment, text color, text size, font style, and inserting images. 3rd graders shared their favorite Christmas song and even told a holiday joke. Thank you for your service, brave soldiers!
In Tech class, 2nd Graders have been working hard to write letters to Santa. They became familiar with the keyboard and tools in Google Docs. Their letters will be dropped off at Macy's as part of the Believe campaign. For each letter written to Santa, Macy's donates $1 to the Make a Wish Foundation. As a whole class, $81 will be donated to help make wishes come true! Nice work 2nd graders!
It took great teamwork at the Elf Games at TGS today!!
