Mirasole's Marvelous Monkeys Are Learning Excel

Ms. Mirasole's first grade class is learning the basics of Excel.  This week, we learned all about opening a spreadsheet, the word "cell", how to use the fill tool, and how to save to their network drive.  The students created a graph about life in a fish bowl.  This is the introductory lesson into Excel. Throughout the year, we will continue to explore Excel and learn more about it's features, including using the Graphing tool.  I believe that giving students fun experiences in Excel will reduce future fear of that program.
