북극 모험 탈출실과 함께하는 크리스마스 단어 및 문장 타이핑 연습

💻 Learn to type the correct way and enjoy some Christmas holiday fun! 🎅🏻 🎄

This one-time class is a short introduction and practice session on correct typing technique to help to improve your typing skills for essays, lessons, stories, assignments, coding and more!

In this one-time, Christmas-themed intro to keyboarding class, students will be introduced to the computer keyboard to learn touch typing, which is typing without looking. Students will learn the correct hand-position for touch typing (home row) and will have the opportunity to try typing all letter keys and many punctuation marks, utilizing all 10 fingers - all while completing Christmas-themed typing exercises with words and sentences related to common Christmas topics, themes, and characters!

**NOTE: This one-time class is NOT intended to be a full comprehensive course in typing technique. Several learning sessions are required to truly build proper typing technique and stamina. This class is intended as a fun, seasonal themed “try it out” intro to typing. After completing this Christmas Typing class, learners are encouraged to enroll in a multi-day OR ongoing typing class with the Apples2Zippers organization to build their typing technique in a longer-term format.

**WHAT TO EXPECT DURING CLASS:
🔴 The typing practice website Typing.com will be used for this class. Learners will receive a temporary username/password at the start of class for use in this class session ONLY in Typing.com. Learners will complete a set of typing practice pages during class custom-made by Apples2Zippers that include a variety of Christmas themed words and sentences.

🟢 Students will have a 1 to 2 minute brain break every 5 - 7 minutes, in order for the teacher to give the students reinforcement of their skills and this will allow the students time to stretch and ask questions. 

⭐ The class will feature an exciting North Pole Adventure escape room activity during typing breaks! Learners will work together to solve a mystery about Santa’s stolen sleigh and virtually travel the North Pole to get it back! During class, learners will also have the chance to share about their favorite Christmas/Winter activities, movies, shows, etc. and possibly play a Christmas-themed online game (if time allows).
