For those of you who missed the parade, or just want to watch it again, here are the pictures I took of the parade. Homecoming Parade 2009!

Plan for the week and Progress Reports

Progress reports will be sent home on Friday. We have been working on getting all of our makeup work done, and finishing up lessons. Remember if you still have an assignment missing, get it in ASAP! This week we will continue learning new keys on the keyboard. In addition to keying lessons, the 7th graders will research and write a paragraph on their favorite movie star. The 8th graders are focusing on typing and doing 1-minute timed typing drills to test their speed. The year is going so fast and I can't believe we are halfway through 1st quarter.

Websites to practice your typing!

I found a couple of websites that can help you practice your typing.

1. http://www.typingtest.com/
   
2. http://www.freetypinggame.net/play4.asp
3. http://kids.learn2type.com/TypingTest
4. http://www.freetypinggame.net/free-typing-test.asp

Any of these websites can be used to practice your typing when you are done with your lessons in computer class. Let me know if you have anymore websites for typing!

Week 2 almost over!

We are almost done with the second week of school. In class we have been working on our typing skills and learning about Labor Day. We will continue working on our typing and doing other small assignments for the next week. Let me know if you have any ideas for projects or assignments.

Welcome!!

Hello!! I am very excited to begin the year of Keyboarding and Computer Technology! We have started the week with reviewing our home keys and beginning to learn new keys. Remember you will need to post to the blog once a month for your participation points!
