Weekly Newsletter
The Week of October 27th
Ellis Pumpkin Patch This Week!
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
Fall Conferences
Read-A-Thon Begins Friday!
This year, we will be raising money to supplement/update our Montessori Cultural Curriculum materials (The Five Great Lessons). Any student who raises $100 or more will receive a $10 gift certificate to our Book Fair in December! If every student donated $5, we would be able to purchase these materials for our school! Thank you for your support!
