My Project

Our students are learning to write; initially, they wrote narratives, and now they are in the beginning stages of research. To do this they need computers they can use to explore and learn how to research online. My third graders are excited to learn, these computers will allow them to take what they have learned from books, class materials, and field trips and create their papers. They are learning to use words and PowerPoint to show their learning to classmates and their parents.

Help my students show their skills with computers to create their written masterpieces.
