Happy 2012 Everyone! I hope you all enjoyed your break and are refreshed and ready to get back to work! For those of you I haven't met, Welcome to My Class and My Blog and Get ready for an exciting Semester of Learning!

8th Grade Computers
WELCOME NEW 8th GRADE STUDENTS! This is the beginning of the 3rd nine weeks! You will be in computers with me, Mrs.Lay, and we will be learning lots of new things! We will first be reviewing your posture and typing skills, then we will learn Memos, Letters and Finally Reports! Good luck and do your best! If you pass my class then you do not have to take Keyboarding in High School and you can take more advanced computer classes earlier like Web Page Design and Computer Applications! Every week I will give you directions on here and will also give you a few websites to visit in class and in your free time! If you ever have any questions do not hesitate to send me an email or comment on my blog! Happy Typing!
