Phonics Software for Key Stage 1 and 2 from Big Brown Bear Teaching Secrets: Get to Know Students Through Seating Challenges Published Online: June 27, 2012 By Sandy Merz Where do I sit? It's the universal first question, at the top of students' minds as they cross the threshold of my room on the first day of class. Many teachers start the semester with students seated alphabetically: It's easy and aids in learning names. I've tried both of these approaches with my 8th graders. However, these practices don't demand anything from students. I've found that by engaging students in seating challenges, I set a positive collaborative tone from the first day. On the first five days of class, my students determine where they sit based on team problem-solving activities. In return, students learn to expect me to be prepared, organized, and supportive—as opposed to being authoritative and having all the answers. Here's how the approach works in my middle school classroom, which seats 32 students around five large tables. Each activity takes 10 to 15 minutes but there is some preparation. Day 3 is different.

home keys and the home row - lesson one Keyboard - lesson one text only The home row of the keyboard is the most important to the touch-typist. When at rest the typist's fingers are positioned, lightly, on the A-S-D-F keys for the left hand, and the J-K-L-; keys for the right hand. The left index finger will control the F and G keys, the right index finger will control the J and H keys.The left middle finger will control the D key, the right middle finger will control the K key.The left ring finger will control the S key, the right ring finger will control the L key.The left little finger will control the A key, the right little finger will control the ; key.The spacebar is controlled by the right thumb. The F and J keys often have small raised bumps on their tops, a tactile aid for the typist. The locations of all the other keys on the keyboard are learned in relation to these home keys so the touch-typist must be able to find the home keys by touch. Make sure you are sitting up straight, your feet flat on the floor.
