**KEYBOARDING**
===**Second through Fourth grade students are practicing Keyboarding in the L.M.C. and they are working every other Wednesday on this tool. This is a very important tool they will use all of their school years and possibly in their careers. They can practice at home by going to** http://www.bbc.co.uk **with a program called dance mat typing. This is the first year for the second grade students, so they are working on the home row (level 1, stage 1) for the next month or two.**===
