Best day ever, spending it with Addie, Librarian of the Day! She had a whole day checking in and out books, visiting classrooms, reading aloud and keeping the library welcome for everyone. Our day was interrupted with a visit to the Ave. for ice cream and a purchase at the book store.

Such talent - enjoy! Thanks to everyone who made this possible and will hopefully do it again next year! This was a priceless night! Still missing a few acts - check back soon. Forgive the shaking camera - I promise to do better next time.
Mr. Jeffrey First Annual QAE Talent Show
Save the Date! - Young Author's Day - May 22 - ALL DAY LONG!
YAD is happening at QAE. Students are invited to share their work with peers and receive compliments. The day will kick off welcoming poet, songwriter, author Eric Ode. If you'd like your child to meet Eric and order his book to be autographed, please download the order form. The deadline to ordered Eric's books for YAD is Wed 5/14. Please return completed form to your child's classroom teacher. More details coming! Exciting times for writers! In partnership with you, Jeffrey Teacher / Librarian
Keyboarding practice for our digital natives will be their success. Starting good habits now with proper fingering and posture will develop very confident communicators. Like holding a pencil, keyboarding should have the same importance. Times have changed, our students will be using touch pads and keyboards to communicate. It's not likely that voice recognition will take over anytime soon. The focus in grades K-1 is keyboard awareness, posture, left and right fingering. By 2nd grade students are beginning keyboarding with proper hand positioning and practice.
I encourage parents to install the programs we use at QAE, Type to Learn Jr and Type to Learn 4. Our license agreement allows all families to download the program. 15 minutes a day is homework that I hugely support as well as real keyboarding opportunities (blogging, writing, making lists, etc.) that apply their new learning. Without practice, how well can we actually do anything? Please email if you would like the Type To Learn Jr. CD for home installation. For installation of Type to Learn 4, please click the install button below. TTL4 can be installed on Mac or Windows. After installation, activate the program using the following code: 122459.

On the QAE Library Resource Page, I've also collected many online keyboarding practice sites. Students have lots of fun here!
