Week of Sept. 13-17

Next week is ITBS Testing so I am assigning a minimal amount of homework.  I do not expect to see grades six and eight next week.  Students are doing a practice keyboarding chart test this week.  Those who don't get 100% on the practice test will take it again at our next class, which is next week for grades 5 and 7 and the following week for grades 6 and 8.  Study if you need to.

All classes are still refocusing on keyboarding skills. I look for 3 main things when they are typing:

1. Using the home row keys
2. Using the correct keyboard fingerings
3. Not looking down at the keyboard while typing

These are the ways that students can learn accurate typing skills.  Speed will increase once they learn to be accurate slowly.  Parents, please watch for these methods anytime your kids type on the computer.
