The students went to the computer lab again today. They learned how to log on, and use, a program called "Type to Learn". This program teaches basic keyboarding skills, which are crucial for computer efficiency.
As part of our Writer's Workshop emphasis upon "Writing for many purposes", the students also accessed their own e-mails and sent a message to a family member. Perhaps you got one? Please check your e-mail.
The students learned that e-mails are simply another form of letters. In other words, it is important to start the letter by addressing the person it is for. It is also important to end it appropriately and use complete sentences. If you are interested in providing your child with additional practice in keyboarding skills, please click here to download at home. Thank you.
