Next week on Tuesday the 24th, we will have the Read Like an Eagle assembly with athletes from CSI. I turned the flyer into a book, since the theme is reading. You can share the book with your class between now and the assembly. Have the sound on for cool page turning sounds, click on read, and turn the pages at the bottom.

StoryJumper doesn't work well with iPads due to the flash. You can download something like the Puffin browser app. Other website ideas for making books with your class are storybird or flipsnack.

I put a post on the school website letting parents know that we are always taking donated clothes in the office, particularly pants and socks.  Sometimes milk spills at lunch, a student decides to be the first to go down the slide at recess after it has rained, or other accidents.You can cut and paste the post right into your school newsletter, classroom blog, or group email to your parents.

Mrs. Enders has started a second grade blog for her classroom!

And lastly some entertainment for your day. I brought home a bag of stuff from helping my dad clean out his garage. My school report cards, school pictures, other items, and this math paper from first grade. Yes, it says to only circle groups of ten. No surprise I was doing my own thing thinking outside of the box. Looks just like math we are teaching kids right now, and my handwriting hasn't changed at all.
