Dear Parents:
This week students began learning about the homerow on the keyboard and began typing games. They ALL seem very motivated to learn to type without looking at the keyboard, as mom, dad and their teacher does.
You could encourage them to do some journaling or creative writing on the computer, in a word document, and then send it to me via email. Beginning this term I will start Journaling with specific topics for homework. Please take advantage of technology and encourage your children to word process or invite them to use eduational websites that will enhance their learning and motivate them.
www.learninggamesforkids.com
Is a great site, and on the side you can choose keyboarding skills!
