Email day will now be Wednesday, since I had to teach spreadsheets this time. Normally I skip spreadsheets and go right into email and internet, since that is what my students are more interested in. I don't see why anyone who has never used a computer before needs a lesson in spreadsheets, but our "boss" was my coach this time and asked me to teach it. So I did. I was gentle, went slow, eased them into the formula thing, but they were still letting out a sigh of relief when it was over. That was my experience in the past, so I skip that chapter and the one on data bases.
So I only get one lesson to teach both email and internet, since we have more "advanced" techniques in Word on Monday.
If you are willing to send emails to my students with pictures, and I have never sent you an email to participate, please let me know, either by comment or email. I also pick one person for them to all send an email to. Last time it was Connie, and we sent her get well wishes. They agree not to take anyone's email addresses home. They are encouraged to send thank you emails to a few people.
The students always love it, and it keeps their attention much better than emailing each other. "Did you get it yet?" "I don't know, did you send it?" "I don't know, how do I tell?"
I just hope I have enough time to teach them to do attachments. They feel very powerful when they learn to do that.

I will try and send them email this next time that you do it. I haven't been able the last couple of times because I wasn't home when the time came around.

I'll be home most of Wednesday so I can email if you need me. I am at rgossett4195@aol.com. You want the email to have the pictures in an attachment right? rose~
