Word Processing

I plan on using Word Processing in my classroom by making newsletters to send home to parents, as well as creating assignments for students. There are many things you can do on Word and Excel that I can use as tools in my classroom. I can easily make charts in Excel. One standard for 2nd grade says the students will, develop of sense of self. Teaching them some things they can do in word processing will help them to develop that sense of self by helping them feel comfortable with technology. Another standard is students develop an understanding of how printed language works. Obviously, with word processing knowledge they can develop their knowledge of printed language.
