Keyboarding into November

Kindergarten is working each week to learn new letters on the keyboard. With each letter we learn, we are typing words into an alphabet book in PowerPoint.

First Grade is busy typing short sentences, formatting text, and learning some basic Word functions.

Second Grade is typing sentences about their Greek gods and goddesses. Next week we will use these sentences as our scripts to Blabberize our Greek drawings.

Third Grade is using Dance Mat Typing to work on our keyboarding skills. We are also learning about how to be a great entrepreneur using Ice Cream Truck.

Fourth Grade is reviewing Microsoft Word. We are learning how to "delete" sentences, "enter" to break-up text, highlight one word or multiple words, and all the other basic text formatting functions. Next up, we will cut and paste, and then we will type a short story or poem to test our skills.
