Happy New Year!
This week we have learned to code with color using Ozobots in kindergarten through fifth grade! The kids loved the interaction and we are looking forward to illustrating stories and coding our bots to help tell stories!
We have reviewed book care and expectations again. I've seen an increase in damaged and stained books being returned. Students will need to replace or pay for badly damaged or lost books by the end of the school year.
Remember you can check your child's account through the online catalog link on the student tab. User ID and password are their student number (no initials).
If you have any questions please give me a call Keep warm and keep reading!
