Our students are now working on a program called Dance Mat Typing which will help them learn the skills of keyboard typing. In between the Dance Mat lessons, some of the classes will continue to explore safe uses of the internet; some of them will listen to award nominated books; and some will work on math skills on the computer.
Our kindergarteners will continue to work on keyboarding skills as well. The students are using games to learn where the alphabet letters are on the board so that they can log onto the computers for themselves in a few weeks. Learning their student username is very important because they will continue to use that username at Columbia Public Schools until they graduate high school :)
