Blog Update

Just wanted to point out a few new features I added to our blog! I added some links to a few educational yet fun websites. You can go there for ideas and activities for your kids, or your child can even head there for some fun online games that help reinforce the things we are learning in class.

I also added some community links that are important to our classroom. At the public library link you can check out how to get a library card, homework help, and much more at the library closest to you. It is a good place to get books to read with your child for our book logs! The World Care link is a good place to go if you or your family is wondering how you can help out with some of the emergency relief efforts going on throughout the world. Last year our school had a drive to help with the disaster relief in Haiti. The Fellowship Square link will give you more information about the residents that come to our school for our senior reading buddy program. Last year several classes from our school had these "grandmas and grandpas" (as my class liked to call them) read books and do different activities with them every month. Our class also delivered handmade Valentines to the residents during their lunch hour. We plan to do these and other actvities with Fellowship Square this year as well!

So, have fun exploring and if you have any other ideas for links, activities, etc. please let me know!
