I hope you all had a great weekend. Today we introduced are 3rd Daily 4 choice. This is called read to self. The kids will be using the software called Tumble Books. This is a subscription web based site that allows for kids to listen to a variety of books read to them. The great thing is that you can use it at home too. If you have a night where your child is too tired to read and you have a million things going on, let them go to the Tumble Book site and listen to a story read to them. Here is the information:

The app will greatly simplify the way your students log in from mobile devices like Tablets and Smart Phones! FIRST GRADE MATH: As in past, first grade math homework is optional. I use a program called Zearn and it is something that I use as part of my daily instruction as well. Today, your child will bring home a black composition book that has their log in information taped inside the cover. What is nice about this program is it is individualized for each student and allows them to work on skills that they need. Below is a video on how to access Zearn at home. |
That is all for now. I hope you all have a great week.
Peace,
Tommy
