Keyboarding

All grade levels are busy learning the keys on the keyboard. K, 1, and 2 are learning where the keys are, how to make capital letters with the shift key, and how to spell their names quickly. The upper grades are memorizing the home row and surrounding keys. Here are the wpm goals for each grade level:

3rd grade - 8 wpm with 0-1 errors
4th grade - 12 wpm with 0-1 errors
5th grade - 20 wpm with 0-1 errors

If you would like to practice keyboarding at home, here are some great websites:

    Hi Terri,
    I love your blog. I just noticed that it was you. I am trying to learn how to post on my blog. Can’t wait to get a good hang of it. We miss you. Glad you’re with your children though. Have fun.

    Hi Sandy!
    I miss being with all my old friends, but I really love being at the same school as my kids. Carpenter is a really great school! I’m training my faculty on creating blogs tomorrow. Have you already had your training? It’s really easy! Hope to see you soon!

    The world’s largest active volcano is Mauna Loa in Hawaii. It rises 13,677 feet above sea level. Mauna Loa is one of five volcanoes that form Hawaii.

    This is a good website becouse it teaches you good stuff about the web.
    It also tells bad people to stop doing bad stuff on the web.

    I learn today and everyday that the Internet is never a safe place to be sometimes. Also you can NEVER EVER give your personal stuff away.And NEVER EVER TRUST anybody that you don’t know. If anybody says to give your address, phonenumber, password, ignore them and get a grownup right away!
