First & Second Grade Classes

This week I introduced students to keyboarding!  Some were familiar with the home row while others were embarking on a brand new adventure!  I encouraged students to use the keyboarding website at home and wanted to give you the link here.  You can also look to the right of the blog and under the heading "Keyboarding Websites" your student has access to a number of different fun typing websites.  The one we used and will continue to use at Ide is Dance Mat Typing.  Select Level 1 and then home row and your child will be ready to go!  Happy Keyboarding!  Dance Mat Typing

Week of October 7 - 11

First Grade

1st Graders will be listening to the story, Harry the Dirty Dog by Gene Zion, read by Betty White this week.  The Screen Actors Guild (SAG) has a website in which a variety of actors read stories aloud.  I hope the students will enjoy it as much as I did!
