Our 1st - 5th grade students are practicing keyboarding skills and word processing these days. We are using Dance Mat Typing to start learning the QWERTY keyboard, and 3rd - 5th grade will transition into Typing Club for practice the rest of the year. Using the Keyboarding folder in Schoology, the students will be able to test their typing skill and speed whenever desired.
We are using Microsoft Word to start word processing skills like changing the font style, the font size, the font color, etc. The 3rd-5th graders will also practice these skills using Google Docs.
We will then practice highlight, copy and paste skills using text and images. Learning these skills will make research and writing easier.

Kindergarteners Rock!
Our Kindergarteners are learning to log into the computers with the help of some wonderful 5th grade students. Practice makes perfect, and I hope that the students can learn to log in by Christmas break so that they can access the CPS Portal at home!

| Happy Student! |

Useful Information
Our 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade classes worked on a website called Interland - an internet world that teaches good digital citizenship skills. The website's address is : g.co/interland You can check it out!
Our students have access now to the CPS Portal, a place that holds many treasures! The Everyday Math books can be found here in the Schoology icon. If you click on Schoology and then choose McGraw-Hill, you can find the text book and several online math games for practice.
The portal also has Capstone Books, an online reading source. Students can find many great titles here that will read aloud to them. ST Math can be found in the portal as well.
To get to the CPS Portal, go to the CPS website and click on the CPS Students and Faculty Portal Login button. Your student will need to enter the username and password that they use to log into the computers at Shepard.
Finally, a few fun pictures of 5th graders who won a game challenge during the Fall Party week!
