How do I teach my child to type?

At first, younger kids practice typing on a QWERTY keyboard with a resting hand placement on the home row keys (ASDF JKL:) and proper posture, sitting up straight with feet on the floor. Then they will begin to learn touch typing.

Then, they can move on to basic key stroking from the home row. Soon, kids will gain the muscle memory to move into letter sequencing and typing small words. Once the basic location of keys is mastered, they can start to work on speed and accuracy by doing drills online.

Fluency is the combination of speed and accuracy. This is measured in words per minute or WPM. Kids should strive to increase their words per minute with every typing test. They can learn and practice with all sorts of typing games online.

Prioritized Standards for English/Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies

Pursuant to IC 20-31-3-1(c-d), the Indiana Department of Education's (IDOE's) Office of Student Pathways and Opportunities partnered with Inspire Success to conduct a research study that defined essential postsecondary skills necessary to promote future success in employment, enrollment, or enlistment leading to service. The Office of Teaching and Learning used this study to inform a subsequent standards prioritization process as required by IC 20-31-3-1(c-d). Through this process, the Office of Teaching and Learning convened stakeholder committees and facilitated an extended public comment period to collect feedback related to standards prioritization and vertical articulation. Prioritized standards for each content area include those designated as essential for mastery by the end of each grade level or course. The prioritized standards that follow were adopted by the State Board of Education (SBOE) on June 7, 2023. Review the Spring 2023 Standards Implementation memo for more details regarding instructional and assessment timelines.

Additional Indiana Academic Standards

Pursuant to IC 20-31-3, IDOE revises the following standards at least once every six years. The review period integrates educator committee feedback with a public comment period. Upon formal adoption by the SBOE, the updated standards are to be implemented by Indiana schools and assessed by Indiana's state assessments, as appropriate. Please review the Revision and Implementation Guidance for Indiana Academic Standards for more details. Each set of standards listed below is accompanied by its respective adoption year.

One thing I pride myself on is having a safe and kind classroom environment. Visitors to my classroom always notice and compliment me on the culture of my classroom. It's always evident there was great classroom management going on.

One of the many things I personally think contributes to my wonderful classroom environment is the way I run my classroom jobs.

Click on any image to be taken to the resource shown.

I have a job for every single student in my class. Some years that means 18 jobs and other years that means 28 jobs!

I'm sure it seems like a lot, but stay with me, okay?

There's no way that I could memorize all of my students' jobs each week, so I use library pocket cards to make a job board. For the years that I didn't have wall/board space, I used a foam poster board that I leaned up against a window on a counter.

I write their names on index cards and place them in the library pocket cards. I use index cards to as inserts because they are easy to switch out. Every Monday, everyone gets a new job.
Changing Jobs
Starting at the bottom of the job chart, I remove the line reviewer index card with the name on it and hold on to it (for now). Then I move everyone over one job to the right. (Vacation is only used when someone is unable to do any of the jobs and needs a week off.) When I get back to the top row and move everyone over, the line reviewer from the previous week becomes the new line leader for the following week.

Why on earth would I do all of this?

1. It's not as overwhelming as it might look.

2. It helps all of my students feel like they are a part of the classroom.

3. We all get to work together to make our learning environment run safely and efficiently.

4. I need and appreciate all of the help!

5. They love it and it helps them learn how to be responsible and work towards a common goal.

When to Introduce Jobs
I introduce my classroom jobs on the first day of school.

I really hype it up. I let my students know how important their jobs are and how much we all need to work together to have a great year. This helps build a sense of community. It takes a village, right?

I let them know that while some jobs may seem like more fun than others, they are all important and needed. When everyone does their part, we all succeed.
What Jobs do I Use?

I use any and every job I need! I even used a key finder one year because I was always misplacing my keys, but the students seemed to always know where they were.

If I need more than one person for a job, I make as many labels of that job as I need.

For example, I might have 3 chair monitors, 2 librarians, and 3 supply helpers, but have one of everything else.

Attendance Reminder is one of my personal favorites. Do I even need to explain why?
Job Descriptions
After letting my students know they will all have various jobs each week throughout the year, I let them know what the job descriptions and expectations are. I discuss each job and allow them to ask questions. I project the following slides from a slideshow I created.

They love it! They are always excited when they find out they will do each job at least once before the end of the school year.

As moments for the jobs arise, I make sure to utilize my new hires! (If I don't, they sure do remind me.) I have used these jobs in K-2 over the past 10 years and it's always been a wonderful component of what makes our classroom so amazing.

They each get a new job on Monday and they stay in that position for the entire week. I change the jobs every Monday during morning meeting.

Friend Patrol is one job that is very important for me to always include. My kids always went above and beyond to find classmates that were alone at recess or someone who needed a friend during lunch.

I truly believe these jobs accelerate how quickly our class becomes more like family each year.

Clean up crew is one job kids aren't too excited about at first, until they realize they have access to my broom and dustbin.

I don't know what it is, but my students LOVE sweeping. When the rule is that only clean-up crew can touch the broom for the week, it quickly becomes a coveted job.

I just purchase a broom and dust bin from the dollar free and store it in the classroom.

Whenever my students line up in my class, line leader is always first followed by the door holder. Then my light monitor. Everyone else fills in and my line reviewer is last.

What is it about kids and being last in line? Most despise it, but my line reviewer job takes care of that!

As we are walking through the hall and stopping at certain points before continuing, I periodically ask the line reviewer how the line is looking. They usually give me a thumbs up or a thumbs down, and I inform the class if we can continue or not.

My line walking rule is that our line shouldn't keep other people from working or learning. No one has to "catch a bubble" or be perfectly still- we just have to be respectful.
On Vacation
Any students that do not want or can not do their jobs respectfully or safely get to take a vacation for the rest of the week. I have my student with the job title of substitute take over that job on those rare cases.

I hope these ideas are something you might be able to use with your students!

If you'd like to purchase the library pocket card job labels and job descriptions they are available on my site. Click on the image below.

20 Craft Ideas To Do With These Coloring Pages

Do you have finished coloring pages piling up, or looking for a creative spin on how to use these pages?

Here are 20 fun and creative ways in which you can bring these printables to life!

20. Fact Booklets

When you're learning about science, books can be a bit dry and boring.

Whatever is applicable, be it the solar system, frogs, vegetables, or even spiders, my kids sheets cover a wide range of animals, plants, and more.

Encourage children to look up facts about their topic and write them down on the page; have them color it in and then bind the pages together.

About five pages are ideal, and at the end, they'll have a cute little fact booklet that they can trade with their siblings or other students!

19. Wrapping Paper

My coloring pages for kids print out just large enough to serve as wrapping paper for little boxes; or conversely, if you have access to a fancy printer, you could print out the sheets larger.

Whatever the case, get the children to color in the page of their choice and then teach them how to wrap a gift.

Also, if the recipient opens it carefully enough, they'll have a bit of handmade art to hold onto!

18. Dioramas

For a fun craft that involves cutting with scissors and gluing, as well as the need for some shoe boxes, have your children or students make dioramas out of the coloring sheets.

You'll need at least two sheets of the same page - one for coloring in the background and one for covering in the foreground objects.

Then you'll have the children glue the background into the shoebox. After that, they'll cut out the foreground objects, leaving about a half-inch of paper underneath each object.

That half an inch of paper is to fold back and create a "stand" for the object. Glue the "stands" into the shoebox, and voilà - you have a nifty diorama to show off.

17. Bookmarks

My kids coloring pages feature all kinds of animals, plants and food, and some sheets feature illustrations that would make perfect bookmarks.

Encourage children to color in the object they want to turn into a bookmark and then have them cut it out.

You'll need access to a laminator for best results - otherwise, the paper is too flimsy to withstand much use.

After the objects are laminated, take a hole punch to the top, about a half-inch in. Then string yarn through to complete the bookmark!

Also, they can make great Mother's or Father's Day gifts or birthday presents.

16. Face Masks

For a fun craft that is perfect for a birthday party, choose an animal coloring page where the animal's face is large enough to cover a kid's face.

Have the children color in the animal's face, and then carefully, leaving a bit of white space around the outline, cut it out of the page.

From there, you, the parent/teacher/adult, will take a hole punch - or a pencil or pen - and put holes in the sides.

String twine or yarn through the holes; you can tie them up to create a closed loop, leaving an approximate amount of space for the children's heads.

Or you can tie the twine or yarn to the hole and leave the ends dangling so that you can tie the mask onto the children for a more individualized fit.

15. Decorative Trays

For this craft, your kid/kids can turn a standard serving tray into a tray with their favorite thing!

First, have the children pick a page they want to color in.

You should be able to find small wooden trays at the dollar store for cheap (or one lying around the house), as well as Mod Podge and applicators.

Depending on the size of the trays, you might have to cut out a specific object; or, if you can, shrink the illustration down to fit.

After the picture is colored in, you'll Mod Podge it to the tray.

You also provide puffy paints or acrylics so that the children can also decorate the handles or the ridges of the tray.

14. Journal Covers

You can find inexpensive journals or notebooks at the dollar store, so this craft won't cost a lot to make, and it's perfect for gifting.

Let the young ones pick out one of our kids coloring pages (you might have to shrink it a bit to fit the journal) and shade it in.

Then, using Mod Podge or even just glue, affix the illustration to the front of the journal.

It's perfect for a homemade birthday present for grandma or for the kids to keep themselves and write down their thoughts and feelings.

13. Keychains

Now, this craft suits older children in the eight to 12 age range, so if you have younger kids, this might not be the best activity for them.

You're going to have the kids pick out a coloring page that they like (or choose for them if it's part of a lesson) and then print it onto shrinking paper, which you can find on Amazon.

Have the kids color in the object they want to turn into a keychain and then cut it out. You'll also punch the hole for the ring attachments.

The amount of shrinkage depends on what sheets you buy, so you'll want to pay close attention to that. As the adult, you'll arrange the objects on a pan and bake them.

Once the items have completely cooled, have the kids affix O-rings or whatever attachments you're choosing to use to make the keychains.

12. Magnets

You can have children make magnets from my coloring pages in two ways.

First, you can print out the page they want to color in, cut out the objects on the sheet, laminate them, and hot glue magnets to the back.

Or you can print out the sheet of your choice at a lesser size and have the children color in the objects they want to cut out.

After they're colored and cut, you can then Mod Podge them to the underside of glass stones, such as you'll find in a craft store or dollar store.

Then, you'll glue a magnet to the back. Voilà! You now have a custom fridge magnet!

11. Coasters

For a cute craft that encourages children not to put drinks on table surfaces (haha), you can start by purchasing ceramic tiles (or wooden ones, if you can't find ceramic at the store).

Have the children pick out a coloring page with an object or design that they like and shade it in; then, have them cut out a square with the object or design being centered.

You can use spray mount to stick the tile to the square and then have the kids paint over a few coats of Mod Podge to seal the illustration and make it waterproof.

10. Christmas Tree Ornaments

You can turn any of my above coloring pages for kids into beautiful Christmas tree ornaments. This is a perfect craft to send home with students for Christmas break or to do with kids the weekend before.

Simply take the kids coloring page of choice - perhaps a cross or a Jesus illustration? But you could do fruit or even one of the Marvel sheets - and have the children color it in.

Then the kids will carefully cut out the main figure; after they do that, you'll also want to write their name and the date on the back (the date is for posterity!).

You'll then have to laminate the cut-outs, then punch holes near the top. String ribbon through and tie it off, and you have yourself an easy but cute ornament for the Christmas tree!

9. Greeting Cards

You'll first have to do a little magic on the computer to turn these coloring pages for kids into greeting cards.

Shrink the illustration of your choosing down to one-fourth of the page and put it in the bottom right corner.

After you print it, you'll fold it in half short-end to short-end, then again, so that the illustration is on the front "page."

Have your child (or children) color in the illustration(s), and make sure to write a message on the inside, whether it's Merry Christmas, Happy Birthday, or simply "Thinking of You"!

8. Gift Tags

Another cute use for my coloring pages for kids is as gift tags!

You can print off the illustrations you wish to use, get the children to color in the main figure and then have them cut the main figure out.

If there is room, they can write To: and From: on the front, where they colored; if there isn't, they can write it on the back.

Depending on the size of the main figure, you might want to shrink it a bit before printing if the gift you're giving is smaller.

7. Postcards

To use my kids coloring pages as postcards, you'll need to do some magic on the computer before printing, namely, shrinking the illustration down to the right size.

You will also need a postcard-sized piece of posterboard - a rectangle about 4×6". The illustration should also be about 4×6" (so you will likely have to cut it down).

Instruct the children to glue the illustration onto the posterboard. You'll want a really tight adhesion, because if you're sending it through the mail, it's got to withstand some abuse.

Get the children to color in the illustration, and then you, as the adult, will draw in a few lines on the back, including one to separate the message section from the address section.

You'll also want to draw a few horizontal lines in the address section.

After the children are done coloring and the lines are drawn in, pick a recipient, have the children write in a little note, address the postcard and put a stamp on it for mailing.

6. Plant Pot Decorations

To spruce up a smaller potted plant, you can get the children to color in the illustration of their choice - something with fruit or flowers would be ideal.

Then once they're done, have them place the pot in the middle of the face-down page they just colored.

Instruct them to pull the paper upward, pleating as they go around the pot until all the paper is collected, then affix it with a rubber band or glue.

5. Dry Erase Boards

This is a fun and easy craft that also produces something usable!

Purchase an 8.5 x 11" vertical picture frame and dispose of the liner sheet.

Print off the illustration of your (or your students') choice and have them color it in.

Then, you'll put the illustration inside the picture frame as the background, and using dry-erase markers, you can write on the glass!

4. Mosaics

A pretty craft that is sure to delight is, instead of having the children color in the illustrations, have them fill in the illustrations with little bits of construction paper.

For smaller kids, you can use bigger pieces, and for older children, smaller pieces. Use rubber cement or Elmer's Glue.

3. Gift Bags

Another cute craft for kids is to use my coloring pages for gift bag decoration.

You can have the children color in the illustration and then paste the whole page - or cutouts - into a gift bag.

It adds a nice, personalized touch to an otherwise blah bag.

2. Puzzles

Here's a fun craft idea for kids - turn my coloring pages for kids into puzzles!

After children have colored in the illustrations, have them - or you - draw puzzle shapes directly on top in a thick black marker.

For younger kids, you can make the pieces bigger, and for older ones, you can make the pieces smaller. Have the children cut out the pieces and keep them in a plastic baggy.

1. Wall Art

This craft is simple and straightforward - and exactly what coloring pages were made for.

After children have colored in the illustration of their choice, mount it onto a slightly larger piece of construction paper to form the frame.

Then, prick two little holes near the top, thread string through, and tie off.

You've got a cute piece of wall art that is Louvre-ready!

KINDERART NEWS

OUR STORY

I'm Andrea, that's me on the left! When my mother Jantje (to my right) and I created KinderArt in 1997, we were leading children's workshops at a local art gallery. One day we decided to look online see if there were any resources for art teachers and found that there were very few (hello Ken Rohrer and The Incredible Art Department!). Not long before, we had made the move into "cyberspace" by placing our Art Studio business online. So, along with that, we created what was at that time a modest resource for art teachers, with about 20 art lessons...

THE KINDERART CLUB

You are currently on the KinderArt.com site which features lots of free art activity ideas for kids (I hope you are enjoying them!) HOWEVER, if you are looking for more detailed art lesson plans, drawing lessons, printables, sketchbook starters (and more) provided monthly, you will LOVE The KinderArt Club - a membership portal designed for parents, homeschoolers, classroom art teachers and studio instructors.

Inside the club you will find hundreds of printable PDF art lessons designed to work in small or large group settings, with a range of ages (from 5 to 12 years). Get creative teaching kids at home, instructing students in a classroom, leading workshops in a studio, or sharing online, as you explore artists, art periods, science, nature, history, cultures and themes, with creativity and flexibility in mind.
