Don't forget to recycle those old cell phones and empty ink jet/laser jet cartridges!
Our computer lab earns money $$ for each ink cartridge and cell phone to buy more equipment such as headphones, printer ink and fun software.
The student earns 1 behavior ticket for each ink cartridge and 2 tickets for each cell phone or laser cartridge!
Remember, 5 tickets earns a trip to the treasure box!
Typing/Keyboarding
3rd-6th graders: Keep working on your typing at home! Remember, to meet your Mavis Beacon goal you have to practice, practice, practice! You'll have to type 30 wpm (words per minute) in 7th grade!
Tips: Grab a book or cereal box, open Word pad or Microsoft Word and practice your fingering and accuracy. Buy typing software, or buy a typewriter from a yard sale!
The key to good typing is speed + accuracy!
