An Introduction to Microsoft Word

In Kindergarten, I introduce our students to Microsoft Word. This is a program that they will use throughout their educational and professional careers and it is important to get them comfortable with it early.

In our __first class__, the students learned to identify and access the Microsoft Word icon from the desktop. Once in the program, the students practiced with some nonsense typing. The kids love to pretend that they are really fast typers! They were introduced to the space bar, and the backspace and delete key on the keyboard. They also learned to highlight words! The kids did great!

In our __second class__, the students typed their name and learned how to use the "Shift" key to make an uppercase letter. They also learned how to change the font size and make their name bigger and smaller. Lastly, the students had lots of fun changing the color of their name and printing!
