Typing Club
Parents,
We are starting a formal typing program called Typing Club. Students may log in at home to practice their typing skills and work on lessons. There is a specific link they will need to access their accounts. Here is the link: Typing Club
Students should have their login information to access their accounts; if you need help please let us know.
As an extra challenge we have students tape a piece of paper over their keyboards so they do not look at their hands while typing. This might be good to do at home as well.
Thank you for encouraging them to work on these skills.
