Monday! Today we had no journal- We took typing tests.  The class average was about 33 wpm.  Our class goal is 50 wpm. We agreed to visit typing.com to practice and if a student can get 50 wpm, there is a special prize. We accessed canvas, and have to print out and sign the syllabus. We have a quiz on Mother Tongue.
