We have been reading some of Doreen Cronin's books. They are delightful. After we read Click, Clack, Moo Cows that Type we figured if cows can type, first and second graders had better learn too! We checked out the Chromebook lab and got busy. The children used these three sites, linked below, to familiarize themselves with the key board and hand placement.

I already heard that several children want to get on the blog at home and practice typing! They are loving it...and what an important skill this day in age. Did you know third graders take their tests, including writing pieces, on the computer? They must know how to type! The students worked so hard. The room was silent because they were concentrating so hard. We are going to strive for weekly typing practice.
