We have all heard about how important it is to wash your hands and to wash them thoroughly.  You need to wash them for 20 seconds which is 2 rounds of Happy Birthday to you.  Have your gotten tired of that song and ready to try a new 20 second song?  Here is a short "Row Row Row Your Boat" version for everyone to try.  Have fun, sing it loud and remember..............WASH YOUR HANDS!

Added Titles to SORA

We have added more books to SORA.   

Great news for all of you readers out there.  Our district just added 300+ books to SORA!  That means that there are some great new titles and current popular books.  We have also taken all of the past holds (put on prior to January) and taken them off.  Hopefully, this will help clean up those OLD holds and makes more books available to everyone.  We are asking that you only check out 1 or 2 books at a time and make sure you return them as soon as you finish reading them.  This will make more books available as we continue our at home adventure and learning.

KEEP READING!

New Learning Reality

     As we begin our two week online learning in our district, I want to share some ideas with our students and parents.  Each day I will be adding a new idea, resource or activity that you can take part in.  There is a lot we can still do, even if we are not in the school environment.

     Most importantly, KEEP READING.    Our school district has access to SORA which is our digital library.  I have a link to it under my "Find A Book" tab.  Click on the link and explore, check out a book and continue to read!
