In the Alder and Cedar computer classes all students are required to pick up a "Make Up Assignment" slip if they have been absent from a class. About half of our class time is spent on developing correct typing skills and posture. With more concentrated efforts in developing the proper typing etiquette our students will be more successful as they enter high school. At this time most 5th-8th grade students are encouraged to be typing between 20-40 WPM with 90% accuracy.
A "Make Up Assignment" slip requires 15-20 minutes of typing done at home on www.typing.com. This is the site that our students use in class and they are very familiar with it. Please monitor your child's work and then sign the slip and return to me as soon as possible. Thank you. This makes for a successful typist!
