   The spreadsheets will be very helpful in a few of my classes. It will be most helpful in Science because we do a good amount of voting for certain things. We take votes sometime we take votes on what animal is our favorite or which project we want to do. It would be easier to understand which students like what better. this would help our teachers to keep track of what we like to do for projects and certain animals or plants.
