Check Out What We're Doing in
8th Grade!
Attention 8th Graders!
Your TypingWeb lessons are due by June 20th. Our 3rd trimester lessons are: Venturing Out, Easy Top Row Words, and Easy Bottom Row Words. Please note that we have 3 lessons due this trimester. Although we have some class time to work on them, most students will require additional time outside of class to complete the lessons. You can access TypingWeb at home, or contact Ms. Helmbrecht to make arrangements to work in the computer lab after school. If you have forgotten your login information see Ms. Helmbrecht.

Our Current Project:
We have just begun to work on our 8th grade memory books. Over the years the memory books have developed into a St. John's tradition. Each year the 8th grade students use their Microsoft Word skills to create a page to represent themselves. The pages include information about their likes, interests, special moments, and memories. It winds up being a special keepsake for each of the students.
Congratulations to our 8th Grade Entrepreneurs!

HOMEWORK
Homework is not typically given in computer class unless a student is falling behind on their classwork. However, students are encouraged to practice keyboarding at home. Students can log on to their TypingWeb account to practice. They may play typing games or work on their trouble key lessons.
