Typing

I read some the blogs and a few felt March just flew by. I feel just the opposite! HA! But one more day till Spring Break I can make it!

Anyways, I have been doing research reports with my 3rd graders. We are finally to the publishing stage and they are typing them into Word. It has been such an experience because they have NO typing skills. In 45 minutes most of them had three sentences. YIKES! With all the great technology I never even think of good old-fashioned typing skills. It would be wonderful if we did have time in the day to work on that too! I guess will try to provide more opportunities the rest of the year! It does increase their enjoyment of writing-so that's a good thing!
