Welcome First Graders!
One of our key missions this year is for each first grader to learn keyboarding skills. We have
several typing programs (Type to Learn Jr., New Keys For Kids) that help you
learn the location of alphabet and special keys on the keyboard. Some of the other programs
we use are:
- Math Concepts (Every Day Math Games and a really great math mystery with Numbers Undercover)
- Spelling and Grammar (Letterbugs Get Ready to Read)
- Animals (Learn About Animals)
- Plants (Learn About Plants)
Our large project for the year is the Animal Report. First Graders research an animal in the library, and
type and illustrate a report in our Kidworks program. This is a sample of one creative student's work:
Check backpacks in the spring for this creative work to come home!
