They have time on the computer, and no they do nothave them at home, they learn computer skills from the computers we have in our classroom. They learn the components and hey learn mouse skills and typing skills at an early age from the computer. This is notto say they do not do work sheets and do not complete other essentials within our curriculum anything positive you can teach a child, you should be willing to and commited to; from early Spanish, Sign Language, to the signs on the street. We have to roll with technology as it expands and not be afraid to teach children the values of technology as well as how to pick up a book or a pencil you can never just use one medium when dealing with an open mind. The stregnth and willingness of a child will shock you eachday if you are as open to them as they are to you. Name: Email: Subject
