Computer Lessons for 1F

Dear Parents,

Your child has created an GMail account in LMS during the computer lesson today. Every Wednesday, they are in the computer lab for 2 periods.

Currently, they are learning keyboard Typing. There are 4 levels for one to master the keyboard letters.

Dear Boys and Girls, I'm glad that most of you have completed Level 1. Keep up the good work! You must be patient to place your fingers correctly before you start the online lesson. If you insist to use two fingers to complete the stages, you are wasting your time and you will not succeed in learning it.

To access GMail in LMS:

  1. Go to LMS (http://lms.asknlearn.com)
  2. Click on Tools at the main blue bar.
  3. Click on Google Apps under Collaborative Learning
  4. Click on Gmail for Education
  5. If there is a 'Security Warning' small window, click on 'Yes'
  6. Finally, it is GMail

Handwriting Ungraded Test

"...many kids can improve their handwriting if they work at it with the help of a grownup."1

I am sure all of us know the importance of legible handwriting. If we don't cultivate a habit to write legibly, I would believe this bad habit would stay with us.

There will be an ungraded test on handwriting in next week (week 6). And there is another similar test on handwriting in Term 2.

Good handwriting:
1) All letters are on the line.
2) All letters are correctly formed.
3) Even spacing between all letters and words.
