eBooks

The kids and I recently looked at our school district's e-Book library.  This is a very underutilized resource that our library provides.  If you have a Kindle, Nook, iPad, iPod or computer, your child can read FREE books at home. Books are checked out for 2 weeks and will automatically be returned.  Right now the limit is 2 books per time, but students can add books to a Wishlist if they don't want to forget about them.

Go HERE to our school library page to start.  Click on eBooks and the kids will need to login.  They all know this.

If you need a tutorial on how to get your device synced to school's library, look HERE for that.

I highly recommend the Overdrive App and the Kindle App if you have devices that support them.

Please let me know if you need help. Ms. Zurawski is offering a session on these at Tech Night as well.  I hope more and more kids start using these books!

Merry Christmas!

I am very excited to spend one last day of 2012 with our class!  We get to finish holiday rotations with our 3rd grade team, drink hot chocolate, watch a movie (our PBIS reward for Decemeber), wear pajamas, and hang out with our kindergarten book buddies!  What a super fun day!  

I hope your family has a very special Christmas and many blessings in the New Year!  Thanks for sharing your kids with me!

Super Spellers!

Way to go Eli, Isaiah and Tygan! The boys did a great job representing our class at the grade level spelling bee this morning. While they won't be moving on to the middle school, they should be extremely proud of how well they did!

Look at our Talented Class!

When I finally had time to listen to all the Google Voice entries this weekend, I came upon a fantastic surprise. Our very own Addie had left me two messages that made my day! She played me two pieces on the piano. They were so great that I had to share! What a fun surprise!

Voices of our Kiddos!

Below you will find some of the fantastic posts from the students who called our Google Voice literacy hotline!  I am so proud of how they did.  It brightened my morning every day to hear their cute little voices say something.

Photo Op!

Yesterday we had a very fun day with Mrs. Day, Zavion's mom coming in.  We were able to take pictures for a special project we are working on.  We also took some holiday pictures with some fun props.   I will post some when we get them back from her.  THANK YOU for coming in, Mrs. Day!  (and thanks to all the parents who saw my email and sent their child in a black or white shirt!)
