Our First Newsletter
Posted by Cindy on September 7, 2007
We are SO pleased with the first edition of the Westward Gazette! I bought a $20 software program from WalMart called Perfect Pro Office that made our computer work simple. (Word Perfect is the only office-type program that came on my computer and it stinks for projects.)
The newsletter includes a story or journal entry from each child that they wrote in August, a Bible verse we’ve been memorizing, an August weather wrap-up, a brief review of our unit study and some fun experiments we did, plus a book review written by Mahayla. (I’ll admit that I did most of the typing this time around. We were getting used to the new software and I was trying to teach them how to add clipart and pictures, so I didn’t want to overwhelm them with the typing. Next month, they’ll take over more of the work.)
We’ve all decided that a monthly newsletter is a fun idea. I hope all the relatives who get bombarded with them think it’s a good idea, too!
