 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 

Read-A-Thon-November 1-30th!! 
Please help your child record their minutes daily! 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 and more for our school! Thank you for your support!


Order soon, sales end tomorrow! Wreath and Greenery Sales 
The PTA Health and Wellness Committee is selling holiday greenery to raise money for the school gardens.
Packets went home last week. You can use the link below to browse the catalog and order online now! Please help us raise money to fund our awesome adventures in the garden!
