Veteran's Day Care Packages

Our Veteran's Day care packages were a success! LT Williams was very excited to receive our package and sent us a thank you note and a few pictures of our spirit shirt flying over Iraq with him. Thank you for making this project a success and helping to teach the children an important lesson this time of year.

Big Universe

We have acquired a brand new reading component that allows students to read books of all topics as well as ability level. I have set up an account for everyone and the username and password are both your student's lunch number and the group username is Fairhope. The link will be kept on the left-hand side of the blog along with other great resources for online learning. Students can choose books to keep in their personal bookshelf and I can also assign books for students to read. If you click on the "Read" bar at the top then "Browse Library" right below the picture that comes up you will be able to narrow your search by level, grade, subject, etc. to meet your child's individual interests and needs. I am going to play around with it and try to assign a few books for each student on their level to practice at home. This is a site that will work on the iPad or tablet if you have one at home. If you have any questions please let me know but we will be practicing using this in the classroom so hopefully they can teach you at home!
