It is with mixed emotions that I write this last post. This is our last week of school at Fort Craig and it is time for all of us to spread our wings and fly off to new schools. Although I am so sad to see our school closing, I am also excited (and a little scared!) to start my new adventure teaching technology at our new intermediate school, Coulter Grove. I will keep this blog open, but not updated, for a few months before switching to my new Coulter Grove website so check in over the summer to practice your <a href="http://lorivines.blogspot.com/p/keyboarding-practice.html">keyboarding</a> and to have some</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://lorivines.blogspot.com/p/just-for-fun.html"> tech fun</a>! I want to thank all of my Fort Craig students for giving me the opportunity to learn and grow right along with them-I started out as a Spanish teacher and now teach technology. Life is change. Before you leave this week, take some time to <a href="http://cardsforteachers.studyblue.com/">thank a teacher</a> (or two or three) by sending an ecard. I know they would love to hear from you!</div>Lori Vineshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07215871056198418137noreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5868679841234622338.post-17851034198146991142012-05-06T12:40:00.003-07:002012-05-07T07:41:18.156-07:00Spring Session Week 7<div style="text-align: center;">

2. The monarchs are back! Just as the next generation of real monarchs are heading back into our region, our paper monarchs have migrated back to the United States and Canada! We received paper butterflies from 37 different states as well as some from Canada and Mexico. Where did our butterflies land? Check the <a href="http://www.learner.org/jnorth/sm/DataReported.html">list</a> to find out-new posts are still being added, so keep checking back! Although individual butterflies are not always posted, it looks like our large class butterflies landed in West Virginia, South Carolina, Georgia, Texas, and Colorado.</div>

3. Last week, we used Excel to make graphs of our first graders' heights. Let's review how cells are ordered on an excel graph by following the directions to make a cool butterfly picture (thanks to Barb Smith from the great Elementary Tech Teachers network for this idea!)</div>

Open your folder and find the "I am taller/shorter than" document and create a picture in Paint, adding sentences in text boxes. While you are working, we will remeasure our first graders for the <a href="http://howtall.wikispaces.com/">How Tall Is A First Grader project</a> and make a graph.</div>

Let's discuss the advantages and disadvantages of online shopping. <span style="font-family: inherit;">Congratulations-you have won a $1000 shopping spree, but since you can't leave school, you log in to <a href="http://www.amazon.com/ref=gno_logo">Amazon</a>! Use <a href="http://www.lhup.edu/phossain/SpreadSheet/ShoppingSpree.html#Students_Task:">this spreadsheet</a> to keep track of your spending. <span style="background-color: white;">Continue spending your $1,000.00 on toys or other goodies and use a spreadsheet to keep the total cost of all the toys just under $1000.00, tax included. And don’t forget that the total cost of all the items (tax included) must fall between $995.00 and $1000.00 or you lose</span><span style="background-color: white;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #cc0000;"><strong>all</strong></span><span style="background-color: white;"> </span><span style="background-color: white;">the money.</span></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Here’s more good news! If you are able to spend EXACTLY $1000.00, tax included, you win an additional $500.00 "imaginary" cash to spend. Will <span style="color: #cc0000;">YOU</span> be the one? Good luck! (Remember-this is pretend! You won't really get these purchases!)</span></div>
