First, Mrs. Bennett told me about the Environmental Studies topic they are beginning. It is Mexico. The class is going to work on a booklet she stated.

'Tradinga Pet Commodore Our school has just traded three Commodore Pet computers computers for two Commodore C-64's, in the first part of November.

She said, "We are trading-in the computers computers because the Commodore Commodore C-64's are up-to-date and they load faster on the disc than the tape." The computers are going to be for all of the school and will be used for Logic, Math, Educational Games and other activities. We hope to get, in the future, a joystick, koala pad and some Logo programs for the kids to have hours of fun and learning. learning.
