6th - Composed paragraphs in Microsoft Word and explored the toolbars.

7th - Evaluated premade powerpoints and are starting research for the their powerpoint about PMMS.

8th - Completed the Choices Program

PAINT A ROOM - This week’s websites are fun.  It is all about color.  Different colors may make you display different emotions.  The first site will explain about the different colors.  The second site gives you the opportunity to “paint” different rooms of the house so you can experience this.  When you click on the second site, go to the box that says, “color visualizer”.  Then click on “launch color visualizer” .  When you have gotten to this site, click on “paint an interior”.  Have fun!
