2nd grade students continued to practice using the Destiny Library catalog to place books on hold. They also learned about SORA, the new program available to all KUSD students that can be used to check out eBooks and audiobooks. They also celebrated National Picture Book Month in November Hour of Code in December.
3rd-5th grade students were introduced to SORA, the reading program purchased by KUSD this year for all students in the district. Students can check out eBooks and audiobooks using SORA and the program is available for students to use 24/7. Students also reviewed nonfiction text features using eBooks and a Kahoot app review game. They also reviewed features of biographies and celebrated Thanksgiving with the biography "Balloons Over Broadway"- a biography about the man who created the balloons for the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and a Thanksgiving Choice Board. In December students worked on their coding skills and participated in the Hour of Code.
