Week of April 18-22

Because next week is Easter Break, I am not assigning any new homework this week.  However, many students have missing work and should take this opportunity to get caught up.  Check OptionC.com to see your standing.  If you need a password, contact Mr. Somers (georgesomers@olmlancers.com).

After the break, we have only 2 more computer classes for the school year.  All assignments MUST be turned in no later than Friday, May 13th.  PERIOD.

Happy Easter!!

Week of April 11-15

The eighth graders will be taking their Computer Knowledge exam this week. Group 8K1 will take it on Tuesday, group 8K2 will take it on Friday.  This is one of six parts of the Central Catholic H.S. exam.  Those planning to attend CCHS in the Fall will need to schedule a time with me to take the remaining 5 sections.  These are brief (10-15 minutes each) covering word processing, spreadsheets, keyboarding and graphics (drawing).  By passing this test students will be able to take more advanced computer-related classes at CCHS.  I am confident our students will perform well on this test.

Homework (grades 5-8):

Write about a habit that you have that you find hard to break.


  • 50-100 words, no spelling or grammar errors
  • Title: "Hard Habit"
  • Due: Wed., April, 20, 2011
  • Include a FULL header at the TOP of your page, including your Computer Class code
  • SLE: "Effective communicators"
