April – 2012
Kindergarten ~ Our Kindergarteners have been working hard on their ABC’s and Phonics lessons with Starfall, as well as on their Math skills with Sadlier-Oxford. They are doing a fabulous job! Way to go, Kindergarten!
1st Grade ~ Our 1st Graders are working on their Math and Phonics skills with Sadlier-Oxford, as well as learning how to read new words and stories on Starfall. They are finishing up their ‘State Booklets’, and will soon begin to work in our Paint program to create lovely springtime images. Keep working hard, 1st Grade!
2nd Grade ~ Our 2nd Graders are working on their Math and Phonics skills with Sadlier-Oxford, as well as learning how to read new words and stories on Starfall. They are also currently working on their ‘Math Minutes’ skills so that they can challenge the 3rd graders to a math competition at the end of the year! They will soon begin to work in our Paint program to create lovely springtime images.
Super job, 2nd Graders!
3rd, 4th, 5th, & 6th Grades ~ Our 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th Graders are wrapping up their PowerPoint presentations about their families, or about their favorite sports. They used custom animation, slide transitions, and sound to enhance these presentations. They will also begin to work in our Paint program to create lovely springtime images. Great job, keep it up!
7th Grade ~ Our 7th Graders will be using Publisher to create web pages for their own “company” for which they will advertise its products and services. These web pages will only be stored on our server and cannot be accessed through the internet.
Keep up the good work, 7th Grade!
8th Grade ~ Our 8th Graders are busy preparing for Graduation. They are writing the script for the Teacher Appreciation Prayer Service and for the Graduation Mass itself. They are also creating a slideshow of memories for this special event.
Way to go, 8th grade! You are fabulous!!
Happy Spring!

Dear OLG Families,
Welcome back to another year here at Our Lady of Grace School! I hope you all had a fabulous summer break, but now it’s time to get busy, work hard, and polish up our computer skills.
Throughout the year, students will be working with our Microsoft Office 2007 programs such as Word, PowerPoint, Publisher, and Excel ~ grade appropriate, of course! Kindergarten – 2nd grades will work on improving their reading and math skills, 3rd – 5th grades will create tables and slideshow presentations, and junior high students will create graphic organizers and design web pages.
I can’t wait to see all of my students back again, and I’m looking forward to meeting our new students and their families as well!
Have a great school year!
Mrs. Ruiz
