6th+Grade++2010-11

=Welcome to 6th Grade= //The theme for the first half of the year is All About Me! You will do research on things about you, such as the meaning of your name, what happened the year or day you were born, etc.. We will "write" a paper (for understanding formatting); create a magazine cover in Photoshop; and create an interactive PowerPoint. We will use a cool program called Movie Maker to create a movie! We have some new tools that we think you will really like, as well. I think you'll enjoy this year!//
