Checkout Before Winter Break
Do your students need more books before winter break? Do your Battle readers want to check out a second Battle book?
The following times are available for individual students to checkout books:
FRIDAY, Dec 19
K-2 - 2:30-2:45
3-5 - 2:45-3:00
Important:
- do not send more than 4 students at a time from your class
- maximum of 4 books per student
- students with overdues won't be able to checkout
Typing Agent
Please encourage your students to go on Typing Agent during winter break!
I posted the following announcement on my Canvas page:
Looking for something to keep busy over winter break? You can go on Typing Agent at home, too! The more you practice, the better you'll be. Mrs. Talbert can type 74 WPM (words per minute) with 97% accuracy! What about you?

MAP Testing
MAP testing begins the Tuesday we get back from break and will end Friday, January 16.
Fifth graders will be at Outdoor Education for three of the days, so they got first pick.
Please sign up using the google doc. Search for MAP Testing in your Google Drive, or use this link: goo.gl/vZmfQx

Accessing Student H:/ Drives
I've had a few teachers this year ask for access to student H:/ drives.
The only way to access it is through my computer and it's not easy to find students. However, if you would like to check on a student, please let me know and I'd be happy to investigate!
If you're hoping to go through their H:/ to grade their work, I highly recommend having them upload their work into Canvas or Google Drive.

Please bring any laptops with problems to the LMC. If we're not available to hear about the problem right away, please write it down and leave it with the computer.
Be specific! NOT WORKING does not help us fix the problem.
