www.raz-kids.com

We are so excited to start a new at home reading program for your child.  This year, we are lucky to have www.raz-kids.com, which is an on-line library of books your child can access both at home and at school.  This program has been initiated to help motivate our students with reading and in turn improve their reading skills at their individual reading levels.  After your child listens and then reads the story, they will take an interactive quiz to monitor comprehension.  After a student completes each story by listening, reading and taking the quiz, they will earn on-line starts to build a virtual rocket ship! 

1)  Here’s how to access the site:

2)  Go to www.raz-kids.com/login

3)  Type in our user name: mproperb

4)  Find your child’s name on the chart and click on it

5)  Type your child’s personal password (Their initials including middle name.  If your child doesn’t have a middle name, it will just be your child’s first and last name.)

6)  Your child can choose any book to read at their level

If you begin using the program, and you notice that your child’s book level is too easy, please let me know as soon as possible.  The levels were based off their September reading assessments.  Most of our students have improved since then. 

Hopefully you received my email yesterday.  I will update our website with the info, as well.  Please let me know if you didn’t!

Math Test

Students brought home a math review that says- REVIEW FOR TEST TOMORROW.  Obviously, we won't be having a test on Halloween, but I knew with all the excitement of Halloween, studying for the test tomorrow would be impossible!  :0)  Students only have to do the front, red side for the math review, but if you "make" your child do more, that's fine!  So...Math Test will be Thursday, November 1st.  Have a Happy Halloween!!

Red Ribbon Week

Tomorrow's Weather

Due to the forecast of cool and rainy weather, Mrs. Nicolai and I have decided to go with our rain date instead.  With the little ones, we don't want to take any chances.  I hope to see you all on Tuesday at Eastwood Beach from 9:30-12:30.  :0)  Now, watch it'll be beautiful tomorrow.  If you could do me a favor and spread the word, I would really appreciate it!  Hope to see you Tuesday!

Class Picnic

Hi, everyone!  Instead of doing my annual summer movie, I decided to change it to a summer picnic.  We will be meeting at Eastwood Beach in Stony Creek Thursday, August 9th from 9:30-12:30.  Bring a lunch and be ready for fun.  Come for some of it or for the whole time.  They have the new play set that I am excited to chase some kids on.  I will be bringing Emily.  I extended the invite to past classes in hopes of seeing some of my favorite faces.  If it happens to be a crummy day that day, we will have a rain date of Tuesday, August 14th, same time, same place.

Mrs. Nicolai is inviting her class, as well.  SO it should be a good, fun time!  Hope to see everyone there!
