#osdgogive - A December OSDGoRead Reading and Giving Awareness Campaign
This 3rd Grader from School #3 recommends The Chocolate Touch by Patrick Skene Catling and Margot Apple for grades 2-4.
I have turned to these recommendations already to help with holiday gift ideas. What better gift than that of a well-chosen book for a beloved reader?
Hour of Code 2016
Joann Donovan has compiled information and resources about the Hour of Code which will be taking place this year on December 5-11. Please note that this year is a little different than last year. Teachers will not need to sign each class up for the Hour of Code because Code.org will not be tracking progress during the week of Hour of Code. Students may simply use the resources.
If you have any questions or concerns please let Joann know. jdonovan@oceansideschools.org
