Welcome to the Computer Lab

We are off to a wonderful start to our school year. The children have been working very hard in the lab.

Kindergarten is currently working on their letters and getting more familiar with the computers. First grade is currently working on putting words together and working on numbers. Second grade is working on typing, and soon Study Island. Third and fourth grade are working very hard on Study Island. We have spent the last two weeks working on mastering two and three digit addition and subtraction along with other math lessons. They are going to start working on Reading skills this week.

I have a list of programs that your children can work on at home, if they have access to a computer and the Internet.

www.pbs.com www.thekidzpage.com www.multiplication.com

Google the words Dance Mat Typing--this gives you the site for the children to learn more about typing and where to put their fingers on the keyboard. It is a wonderful site.

If you ever have any questions or concerns please contact me at the school at anytime or you can e-mail me. Phone number is 815-697-2642 or dhaigh@cusd4.org
