Learning how to type a paragraph

The kids are learning how to write an interesting paragraph. 
We are working on having each sentence start different.
After it we edit it together, they type it on the computer.
Then it is printed, illustrated and put into their binder book.


Simone is writng about our button collection.




Edison is writing about being a ninja.



Andre is practicing typing letters that he knows and
erasing them with the backspace button.

Eli is so silly... he climbs into everything!!
