More Time on Drums

Some classes will need a little longer to finish the novel. Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday of this week we will be working on the computers. Students will be practicing iMovie and Garageband on the laptops. These two programs will be valuable in creating multimedia projects in the future. Once you become familiar with the programs, you should visit the computer lab after school to get more practice and create your own projects.

We need pictures and video of any Kimbrough events for our team 7-3 "Night at the Movies." Please contact Ms. McDaniels if you have any pictures or video clips we could use.
