Today students raised $60 to help Liam! Way to go! Students will continue selling 25 cent Lollipops for Liam the rest of the week. Any additional donations are greatly appreciated.
We have run into a few glitches this week. We have been working very hard, but we are all still learning the new reading series and we just haven't gotten as far as we would like this week. I know that several students have voiced concern with accessing the book online from home. If at all possible, I would like parents to sit with the students and see if you can help them access the materials. I would also like you to reply to this message with any complications or success stories. If we can work together to figure this out, I believe it will be a beneficial and engaging program for students. Here is a link to a quick tutorial for accessing the material: http://youtu.be/tYIg_orLYvA
With the difficulty in accessing the materials this week, the homework has been extended. We will work together to complete the mini book in class, and students can continue reading the assignment at home. Remember, for anyone unable to access the online version, students are able to check out printed books from the classroom. Keeping this in mind, the week 6 assessment will be postponed until Tuesday. This will give us more time to go a little deeper with our learning objectives in the classroom too. I think it is a win, win decision :) Students should be studying their SPELLING though. The Homework page has been updated to reflect the new expectation.
