Kindergarten My objective for Kindergarten is to introduce the students to the mouse and how to use it. Most K's have ipads or tablets at home and don't know how to use a mouse. Mondays through Thursday students will work son different websites. Occasionally they will do testing or work on iReady. Fridays will be their Paint day. Paint is a great little program for introducing them to word processing and it helps them to learn their mouse skills.

First Grade First graders will learn to type using Dance Mat Typing. I will also teach them a number of computer skills using Google Docs . They will learn how to set up sentences with uppercase letters and punctuation marks. They will also learn a number of formatting tools. We will learn Internet safety rules and how to get to certain websites and maneuver around in them. They will also work in Paint. Each student will get their own gmail address so they can use the Google suite.
Second Grade Second graders will continue working in Dance Mat Typing or Rapid Typing, word processing, the Internet and learning how to create a Google Slide Presentation. They will learn more about researching on the Internet and creating their own reports. We will also play some challenging educational web games. Coding will be on Mondays and typing on Tuesdays. Wednesday - Friday will be computer skills.
Third Grade Third grade will consist of much more research using the Internet and creating a report on their own. They will useTyping.com to learn their typing skills. Students will continue to learn more about putting together a top notch Google Slide Presentation. Coding will be on Mondays, typing on Tuesdays and Wednesday - Friday will be computer skills.
Fourth Grade My fourth graders will be working on the website typing.com to do their typing. This is a great site with tests, games and lots of typing. I can see what each student is doing from my computer so I can keep them on task. From there I will teach them how to research using the Internet and on to reports. Google Classroom will be used as much as possible. Coding will be every Monday.
Fifth Grade 5th grade will start with an online safety webquest featuring Garfield. After the webquest, the class will get on a weekly schedule as follows:
Monday - Coding
Tuesday - Typing - New students will start out typing in Dance Mat Typing or Rapid Typing and then advance to typing.com. My goal is to have every 5th grader typing at least 25 WPM with 3 or less errors.
Wednesday - Friday the students will work on projects and research skills.
