Don't Forget to Turn in your Winter Reading Challenge by January 19th!
I will be turning in all completed winter reading challenges on Thursday January 19, after school.
Everyone who completes one will receive a free book from the Tompkins County Public Library. I would LOVE to see all our wonderful hawk students with a brand new book to start the new year!

Keyboarding Without Tears
In grades 3-5 this year, our students are using Keyboarding Without Tears to learn keyboarding skills, computer literacy and digital citizenship.
One of the features of the program is that students can use the student license they have from school for practice outside the school. To access the program, you will need a laptop or desktop with internet access.
If you wish your student to be granted home access, please contact me at sarah.jones@icsd.k12.ny.us and I will send you an email with all the information you need to get started.
It is recommended that your child work on Keyboarding Without Tears for no more than 10 minutes per day outside the classroom. Speed, fluency and accuracy will develop with regular practice over a sustained period of time. Please see the video overview below for more information.
