4th Grade Homework

Dear Parents and Students:

Both 4th grade Tech classes are every Thursday.

Mrs. O'Connell is teaching this grade this year. Please refer to her Web site.

This page just has the 4th grade level rubrics for Keyboarding posted and some practice tips!

Tips when practicing in UltraKey: Always go to complete the Lessons first and then the Skill Checks. When your in the Skill Checks make sure you work through 1paragraph, 2 paragraphs, 3 paragraphs and the Entire Passage. If you are not doing well in skill check then go back and repeat the lesson. Your goal is to not look down at your hands but to memorize the proper finger positions. UltraKey shows you the fingers resting on the Home Row and then how the fingers have to reach for the other keys.
