Third Grade

Students in third grade will focus on learning proper keyboarding skills. By the end of third grade they will have learned all letter keys and proper keystrokes to use them. They will be able to use shift to capitalize letters.  They will continue to demonstrate proper etiquette, behavior, and body position when using computers.  Our students will use a word processor to produce simple paragraphs, create a one slide presentation, and a browser to navigate a website. They will discuss ethical computer use.    Third grade students will use google classroom to organize their assignments and online resources.  All students will go to the computer lab for 40 minutes each week.  The following sites are recommended for use by the third grade students.  Click on any of the following logos for a direct link to that site.
