Welcome back to the Rancho Computer Lab blog-2009

Summer seemed too short in the beginning, but by August, everyone in our family was looking forward to its ending. We had a great time in Yosemite, got to hang out in the back yard, and catch up with old friends-we had a great time. But in the end, it's good to be back at school. I'm expecting my first two classes to come into the lab this week: Mrs. Garaventa's and Mrs. Langfords are coming in to start their Accelerated Reader program. By the end of next week,with help from parent volunteers, I expect to be have all the new classes and new students entered into our system.

Thanks to the PTA, the technology program at Rancho will be growing this year. We'll be introducing video projectors and document cameras into all the grade levels this month. Eventually, we're planning on having them in all classrooms at Rancho. We'll also be evaluating and bringing in new typing software for the lower grades, and more math software for the upper grades. I'm going to be more regular in posting to this lab.
It's going to be a great year.
