Formatting fun in microsoft word! After keyseeker, the kids opened up a word document about insects. Putting our mouse skills we learned last week to work, the students learned how to highlight words and change the font size, style, and color-like magic! I wish I had a video of their excitement in seeing the word "big" grow really big! We also listened to a tumblebook story called Bugs, Bugs, Bugs and did some insect fun games.

After starting this session with "the inside story" about computers, we've moved on to our own stories. We went to a cool site called How Many of Me, which uses US census data to show how many people in our country share our first and last names. To show our individual uniqueness, we completed a word document called The ABC's of Me. After filling out each category, the students formatted to their heart's content! Computer parts hangman and funbrain were available for early finishers.
