Writing:  Instead of cursive today, I would love to see students get on typetastic.com.  It is a free website and teaches them the basics of keyboarding through games.  (My kids love it!)  Since we are doing so much online I thought this would be extremely helpful for students.  This is not required, it is only extra if you would like to try it.  The website is free to use.
