I am so happy that the Touch Typing Interhouse is coming. Gladly i am pretty good at touch typing because i do 66 words per minute. I have been practising a lot so i can win many points for my house. There are many people that type really but really fast but there are others that don't understand it very well and they can't do many words per minute. I hope those people have practised a lot and i recommend them that they should play the games that you put not long ago that says practice and more practice. Those games really help you to practice. I hope that many people win many points for their house. I have played a lot those games that you put because i really like touch typing and i am good and also sometimes i don't have anything to do so I practice. I would also like and i think we will get back that hour that we won't have of language because i like language and i don't want to miss a lesson. So i am sure that we are going to get it back. Right now i am going to practice a little because tomorrow we have the persuasive essay. See you tomorrow!!!

Miss ale,
Thanks for motivating us for doing well at touch typing. I´ll do around 50 words per minute I think, I think it is pretty good but after hearing some other people it looks very few.

Miss Ale,
I am sooo anxious!!! I really like touch typing! I want to have it whenever possible, because if not I would get nervous more and more each day, and when that day comes you will feel more than just very nervous. Although I am good at Touch Typing that day I always get nervous and I just do 57 for example, but my real record is 67, I was really happy when I made it, I made me feel very proud of myself. I´m still thinking on what I will do in the Writting Process test tomorrow. I´m stuck between success and Money(material things) I think both are great topics, but I don´t know which ones best. What do you recomend?? Well going again to Touch Typing, I've been practising a lot, One day I spend all the afternoon playing all the games you had add in the blog all troughout the year(believe me they are a lot) and they are all great and very creative. Some are really challenging and you know thats the games I like best, but in some, they telled you that you´ve made 290 wpm, I think it was in the last one you add, it was a bit weird but well the game was great anyway. I recomend everybody to practise from all the games, and to practise for the test tomorrow from a slide chair that I think it is in the previous page. I will be going there to study now in some minutes, it is a helpfull tool to study, another good tool is the sharing writting we did in 6th C the one of having less homework, because as we did it together we can remember more about it rather that you just reading it. Miss Ale, you are really helping us study and learn a lot of new things with the blog, thank you sooo much. I think the way Lucia does, we should have our Language lesson back, we all really like Language, becuase we learn a lot. It is one of the subject I enjoy much learning of, we learn a lot and we have fun at the same time, thats really fantastic!

See you, and thanks for all the help throughout the year with this marvellous blog. Now I will go to study...

I think that tuch typing is very important in owr future because when we are in 10 grade we will need to write 2000 word esseys so it is better to start learning this when you are a kid and although now we dont see this now when we are kids I think it will be very usefull

Dear Miss Ale: I LOVE TOUCH TYPING!I think that the opportunity we have to get some help from Marta, Jacky, Carmen and Miss Corine to inprove and to lear how to type with very little, in fact, without a mistake, so that when we have to do any pice of writing or any exercise or homework at the computer, we don't spend so much time at looking for the letter and we make USE OF OUR TIME EFECTIVLY. I am not the best peron at touch typing, quite frankly I only do 30 words per minute when at the test we have to do minimum 20 words per minute, so thats why I'm pretty happy with my results at this subject. I think that there are some conts that touch typing had, although they are pretty little, but I still put forward the argument that when you do touch typing, I may say that specially at the interhouses or at the test, you get kind of stressed and nervouse so that does produce a very unconfortable situation, if I may say so, I will confesse that when we are at the test or at the touch typing conpetition, I hear all the sound of the fingers pressing the bottons and they are so fast that I can't really get really focused at MY touch typing. I think that I will like to congratulate all my classmates and the people from the other 6th graders because we put loits of effort to it and we have really put lots of enthusiasm and hard work all over this 3 or 4 years of practice. I remember that Sofi F last year has won a prize for the best touch typer of the class AND OF ALL 6th GRADE!!!! That had really impresed my and I was really proud of her because THERE is were hard working and dedication is shown, and that prize might probably meen a lot to her...
MISS ALE THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR SUPPORTING US FOR US NOT TO BE SO STRESSED AT THE INTERHOUSE!!!!!!!!!
WISH YOU POST MORE COMMENTS TODAY OR TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BYE BYE...
SEE YOU SOON...

I am not exelent at touch typing but I think I am ok. When I type a webpage or something in my house I try not to look at the keyboard. I really like practicing touch typing because I think it helps us to use it everywhere instead of using two fingers and looking at the keyboard. I actually practice all the time. This is because everytime I type something I "use" touch typing. I am so exited it is coming. I wish I do well so I can give points to my house. Last year (from monteith) Valy won. She is very good and I hope she has the same luck as last year!!! I am going to keep on practicing for the Touch Typing competition so I can do very well. See you tomorrow,

Hi there!
I am very excited about the touch typing interhouse and I hope we all do well. I am also very excited and a little bit nervous about our final exam of language that is tomorrow. On one hand I am a little bit scared, but on the other hand I am happy because I enjoy writing persuassive essays and I think I'll do fine. However, I think we don't have to take advantage of this and think that we don´t have to study or prepare ourselves, only because we know how to write a persuassive essay.
See you,
Barbie M
PD: I am already using some of the phrases for the persuassive essay!:)

I think some people think that touch tiping is tidious but I remember in 4th when we started touch typing I was the worst one in touch typing and I didn't like it at all. Now 2 years past and I use touch typing in everything (the blog, MSN, mail etc) and I'm pretty good. So I think touch typing is practice most of it and use it when you can because it is a really advantage. Thank you ale and Marta for promoting us for doing TOUCH TYPING !!

Miss Ale,
Well thank you for the support you do for us on every post ! About the jTouch Typing interhouse, I am not SOO nervous, I usually do touch typing whenever I use a computer ! So I am very used to it. I like the games you put to practice, they are really good ! You allways try to do better than before, so you practice and practice and maybe you dont realize, but you go being better and better. But, its lots of fun ! I love doing touch typing I think its very entretaining and it has really helped me ! Know that I start to think, it has done much better for me doing touch typing because I also know more of computers, and thats very good for the future, if you are going to use a computer. (logical) Well, this made me remember, talking about computers, know Im going to look in the post you put long ago for practicing for the exam tomorrow about essays.
See you tomorrow !
BYE BYE !

Dear children,
Again I am so gladly surprised by your comments, especially with all the ones who say how they are using touch typing. The secret is practice, practice and keep on practicing... even if you don't do so many words per minute now.
Good luck to all of you in the Competition!

Miss Ale: We (6A) had it today... I think I did well. I got 37 words per minut. It was my record of what I did in all the year!!
I did it twice, the first time I got 35 words per minut and the second one I did 37 words per minut, I obviously said the one I wanted to write in the list, the one that was better, in this case 37 words per second.
I think this was a great experience because the inter houses are about sports and the people that aren't THAT good in gym prefere this types of inter houses.. So I loved participating in it!! This year 5th gread do it also but I don't remember doing last year the touch typing inter house!!
WELL I LIKED A LOT THIS POST!!!!!!!
SEE YOU TOMORROW IN THE READING COMPREHENSION EXAM!!

today we had the tocuh typing competition and I did it four times!!
This happened becuase I had sometihng wrong in my computer that I did the wrong excersice, so afterwords I want to another's computer and did it two times again but anotehr text. That was good because in the first text my best score was 37 and 98 and afterwords with the correct text I got 43 and 98!!! I am really glad although some people did a lot more, like Luis. But I am happy becuase I had a goal of making at least 40 words per minute, and now I did more so I am really glad!!!
SEE YOU SOON...

This was the most words per minute I did!!! Well that is why becuase we have the blog to practice for touch typing which I think Marta would feel very happy. I love touch typing!!

Miss ALE I did 43 words per minute and I am really exited because I achieved my own record!
IN A TOUCH TYPIF INTERHOUSE, we know that we are typing not only for us but also for our house and that we can improve are score and win more houseponits so when I was in the miiddle of the interhouse text I thought that at the same time there were many other children in my class and in theschool fighting for or house and I think that gave me strength to cary on typing better and faster!
See You,

I think touch typing is a very important tool because it may help us in lots of thing like for our future jobs or in school. Without touch typing we would type a text for hours and it isnt very useful. I am not so good but I have faith in me. haha
