Science Project Program for Parents

On Tuesday, October 13, there will be a program at JLCP presented by the JLCP science department and the topic will be SCIENCE PROJECTS!!!!

I am leading the presentation so I will gear it for parents of 6th graders and students new to the science project process. Variables, questions,  and hypothesis development  will be addressed. The forms and websites will also be mentioned. Everyone is invited. An information flyer should be coming home later this week to announce the time. I will also post it here as soon as everything is finalized.

Have you had trouble opening your documents at school?

Many of you and your families have Word 2007/Office 2007 and at school we don't have it. We have an earlier version of Word.

Here's a snippet that I received in some tech helps. It should help you open documents at school.


"How can Microsoft Word 2007 save a document automatically in a Word 97 – 2003 version?


In Microsoft Word:
a. Click the Office Button.
b. Click Word Options.
c. Selected, Save from the left column

d. Under Save Documents, “Save files in this format” select Word 97-2003 Document (*doc.) from the dropdown menu.
Word will now automatically save documents in this version."

Directions: All A day classes must finish the questions before coming to class. B day classes will have time to work on them in class, but my want to work ahead.
