Hello Families,
We have had a very exciting week with technology. On Tuesday the students got the chance to work with their own laptop for the first time. They practiced logging in and getting on the internet. They also learned how to type in www.starfall.com. The students did a great job. I am very proud of them. Feel free to check out starfall.com at home on the weekends. Your child can work on their reading skills on this great website. Today my Elmo Cart was ready. This is a wonderful teaching tool that I use throughout the school day. The students will get to use it as well as we all get used to the new technology. You might want to ask your child about the Elmo Cart and find out what they thought of it. The students started literacy centers this week too. They are all getting the hang of rotating to a new center each day. When they are in these centers they are working independently while enhancing their literacy skills. The activities are review activities that we have already done in class, so they should not have any difficulty understanding the expectations. While they are working in centers I am pulling groups for guided reading. Mrs. Leigh is in here as well to pull reading groups every morning..
Many parents expressed an interest in having a list of book titles that correlate to the leveled reading that is used for guided reading with the teacher. The website www.booksource.com is a great resource for finding out book titles that may be good for your child. Please let me know if you have questions.
