Third Grade

New skills will include opening Microsoft Word, saving a file correctly, changing the file using Word's drawing tools, and saving the file again. We will save a file with different names, find the file the next day, and learn to format text using Word.  We will also start using Microsoft PowerPoint to make basic slide shows.

Vocabulary words we will learn are: open, file, save, save as, mouse, keyboard, control, alt, delete, escape, monitor, Microsoft Word, Microsoft PowerPoint, View, Toolbars,  Enter, Scroll, slide, custom animation, transition, format and homepage.

Third grade will also learn to make a basic PowerPoint program. Students will learn to create new programs, save the programs, create new slides, format the slides, add custom animation and transitions.

Spreadsheets will also be started. Students will learn to add, subtract, mulitply, divide, make graphs and calculate mean, median and mode.
