Jesse changed schools right before the Christmas holiday, going from a Montessori-like school to a Catholic school. (Talk about culture shock! But that's another story ;-) )

He now has daily homework assignments. And research papers are due on a regular basis, like the one last week about komodo dragons. Because his handwriting is so bad, I told him to type it instead, and set him up in Publisher.

As he typed, Publisher very nicely showed him any misspelled words. Because he kept using the arrow keys to position his cursor, I taught him about the Home key ("goes to the beginning of the line") and the End key ("goes to the end of the line").

"Thanks, mom", he said. "Where's the Middle key?"
