In October and November, they have been learning about word processing using Microsoft Word. They have learned how to change fonts, font sizes, and font color. They have learned how to copy and paste text and how to change the orientation of the paper. They learned how to insert a picture and how to resize it.
They put all of those skills together to create an infographic about a topic that interests them. The 4th and 5th graders made their infographic in Google Docs, and the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd graders made their infographic in Microsoft Word.
The 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders then moved on to learning about spreadsheets using Microsoft Excel. Columns, rows, cells, graphs, charts, and formulas were discussed and practiced. The final project in spreadsheets was to count, graph, predict, and add M&Ms - and then eat them!
