**COMPUTERS:** **We have been using the "Dance Mat Typing" program in class. If they want to practice at home, click here to go to the website Please monitor them and make sure they are using the correct fingers. If they are not using all 10 fingers, they are just practicing it wrong and we'll have to correct it in class!**

**Another fun typing tool we use in class is Tux Typing. You can download it here** **See below for more typing games.**

When children are using a computer at home, please let them do some activities that involve more than just the mouse. They have been learning where the letters are on the keyboard, and also how to type correctly using the touch-type method. You can encourage them to show you how they type with ALL of their fingers! If they've "forgotten", remind them to put their pointer fingers over "F" and "J" and see if that helps. Here is a link to some games that will help them practice: TYPING GAMES
