Greenville Drive Reading All-Stars
The reading forms are due back to the school by March 20th. You may turn them in to me at that time. Please encourage your students to read chapter books that are on their reading level for the log. We want this to be a worthwhile experience. Let's see how many of our classes can have 100% participation! Thank you for helping to encourage this outside reading with your students.
Digital Magazines Available
When you are ready to explore the magazine, let me know and I will give you the codes that you need to take advantage of the digital subscriptions.
When you have gotten the codes from me, go to the Newsstand app which is already on everyone's iPad. Open the magazine from the Newsstand app. When you see the page that says "Introducing Cricket Media's new, free, family, platform!" click "Sign Up Later."
Now you should see a screen that shows covers of several issues of that magazine. At the bottom right of that screen you will see "Account". Click it. You will be prompted to enter your username (supplied by me) and then it will ask for your password (also supplied by me). The same process is used for your students to get the magazine on their iPads.
I am excited about the prospect of you and your students utilizing these digital magazines! Below are some that are good for 3rd-5th grades. Please let me know how you like them!
