4th Grade Computers

The 4th grade class has been so very busy these past few weeks.  We have completed the keyboarding lessons that we began the first week of August.  Having been introduced to the complete keyboard through a series of 14 lessons has taken almost this entire semester. There will be continued keyboarding practice at the beginning of every class...accuracy, not speed is what I appreciate from these students....I remind them that this is a lifelong skill that will guide them throughout their educational career and into their professional lives.

The students have also prepared a Google slide presentation about themselves and their families.  I remind them of how their interest have changed since kindergarten, so I enjoy learning about their current interest. The students are giving their presentations in front of their peers---a good learning experience.

Also, the 4th graders are participating in 'coding.'  This is basically computer programming. It is amazing how quickly the students learn this technique...and are having such fun.  I would expect that the students will be doing this over Christmas break.

I so enjoy the 4th graders.

It is unbelievable that this semester is almost over...

Have a wonderful Christmas break.
