Hello!!! My name is Sarah Aboona, your child's computer teacher! This is my second year at Saint Joan of Arc, the 2022-2023 school year begins my 9th year of teaching. Besides technology, I have also taught study skills and library. 

In my spare time, I like to spend time with my family, especially my children. I have 3 kids, Anna is 11 years old and in the 6th grade, Jake is 10 years old and a 5th grader, and Emme is 7 years old and started the 2nd grade this year. We like to stay very busy throughout the year with various activities such as cross country, softball, gymnastics, soccer and swim. Besides English, I speak two other languages and come from a big family. I love party planning, color coding, staying organized, cook, clean and getting my nails done. 

It is my pleasure and I cannot wait to work with your child. Here is the LINK to my website. My website has a great compilation of sites that students will refer to during class. It is a great idea to create a bookmark on your device(s) at home. 

Below you will find some of the many topics I cover in my classes. I like to use a variety of games for K-2nd graders to introduce basic computer concepts. 3rd-5th graders continue developing technology skills through typing, researching and creating presentations. Middle school students continue to build on skills that were introduced at the elementary level. 6th-8th graders also have a good grip on typing, internet etiquette, digital communication, Microsoft Office and so much more.
