The Week of November 3rd
Festivals Around the World
Our community will be studying festivals around the world from now until Winter Break. We will be learning about Diwali first, and are looking for donations of colorful, dried, beans and white paper plates, so the children can make a version of rangoli. Thank you!
A note about keyboarding practice from Ms. Angie:
Did you know that most employers expect their employees to touch type at 50 words per minute? I didn't either, but it is not surprising when you think about it. Our youngsters are not heading to the job market just yet - but - their day to day success in using technology for learning is impacted by their proficiency with the keyboard.
All students have a current Typing Club account which they use in Tech class weekly. When students log in to Typing Club with their Google Accounts, their progress is saved and they can continue from lesson to lesson. It is recommended that students practice for 15 minutes each day to gain proficiency.
I've added information to the Explorations page on the school website for students to log in at home.
From home, students will use this link: https://charles-ellis3.typingclub.com
Students will need to use their school email address (firstname.lastname@students.sccpss.com) and their unique password. Parents are welcome to email me with any questions. angela.laplante@sccpss.com
