The library is now home to two stationary exercise bikes that students and staff members may use throughout the day. I am asking students read while riding during school hours. However, staff members may use the bikes at any time! | We're All Wonders Skype-A-Thon for World Read Aloud Day World Read Aloud Day is on February 5th this year! To celebrate, AMMS is hosting a virtual read-in for other schools from FCS. More information will be coming, but start thinking about if you or some of your students would like to participate! |

Gimkit can be used in any classroom to introduce or review concepts; it's like a mashup of Kahoot! and Quizlet. The live gameplay is fast-paced and engaging like a game show, but when it's assigned for independent practice, Gimkit functions more like flash cards. Speaking of Quizlet, you can import Quizlet sets (text only) into Gimkit with just a few clicks. Using either the Quizlet import feature or the collaborative quiz-building KitCollab mode, you can create a Gimkit game in a few minutes. This makes it easy to insert an interactive review game into your lesson with minimal prep. Teachers can also use the assignments feature to give homework. You set a due date, and students work through the kit at their own pace, answering questions until they reach a set goal.
