Week 2

Week Two went fast and furious.  I got to see all my classes!!

 First grade got to check out TWO books.
We read Marion the librarian to learn how to take care of our books.  Mrs. Green sent home a special bookmark to help us remember to bring our books back.
Second Grade continued their state projects.  We also learned about World Book Online. 
Visit the GCS website HERE to find out more.

Third Grade finally got to come to the library.  They checked out two AR books and learned a little about the updated AR program.

Fourth Grade and Fifth Grade got their Grace Reader folders ready.  We went over all the Grace Readers that they might read this year and Mrs. Green told them a little about each one.  Visit the GCS website HERE to see the Grace Reader List.

I'm really loving the new GCS website.  You will notice I linked to it a couple of times so that you would begin to use it.

The First Week...

The first week is over..... I started the week with 5th grade.
We reviewed library procedures and looked at upgraded changes in Accelerated Reader.
Then second grade came and Mrs. Brandt's class got started with their state projects.
Mrs Tjoelker and Holmes will begin state projects next week.
First graders were excited to check out their first book-- next week they get to check out two and take one home!!!
My week ended with 4th grade---more library procedures and more changes in Accelerated Reader!
The second week of school will begin with third grade and kindergarten story time.
K5 teachers and Mrs. Thomas enjoyed using their new iPads and Apple TVs.
K5 has toured the school using The Kissing Hand QR Code Scavenger Hunt.
Mrs Thomas took pictures of individual students creations and showed them on her apple TV.
I'm finally getting the hang of the new GCS website--- make sure you check out the Elementary Academics and Parents-Elementary pages.
