Parents, as we move forward from paper copies to more of an on-line educational format, please see below for the upcoming week's lesson. The goal of the lessons are to help familiarize your children with different forms of technology skills and to also hopefully has some fun! My goal is not to put any undo stress on you are your children during these unusual times. With this in mind, if some of the activites are to challenging please do not worry about it and just have your children do the best they can. Finally, there are some extra keyboarding and game sites that students can practice with if they want.
