Yesterday your child learned how to use a simple spreadsheet template. We worked with the Growing with Technology website in Level 1. Many children understood this project quickly, while others could use some more practice. If you have time at home, please consider working on the spreadsheet project in Level 1 or Level 2 with your child. The spreadsheet activity is the piece of paper on the child's desk.
