Quizlet – I have added new language Quizlets to the class. I have added synonyms, antonyms, homophones and prefixes. I would like to start testing the student in school with the Quizlet. If you have not set up an account for your student yet please join Quizlet and set one up this weekend so that I can start testing on Monday. When you pick a username please include their first name or student number so that I can tell who they are. Please send me your student’s username and password so that I can help them log in at school.
Parent Connect – You should have all received a copy of your PIN to get in to Parent Connect. Please try to access your child’s account before your conference. This way I can help you solve any problems at conferences. Please check on a daily basis to see if your student has missing assignments.
Helping to feed people in need- Empty Bowls is an international grassroots effort to fight hunger and was created by The Imagine Render Group. The basic premise is simple: Potters and other craftspeople, educators and others work with the community to create handcrafted bowls. Guests are invited to a simple meal of soup and bread. In exchange for a cash donation, guests are asked to keep a bowl as a reminder of all the empty bowls in the world. The money raised is donated to an organization working to end hunger and food insecurity. Your students have all created bowls to help raise money to feed people in need. They recieved an invitation to attend a fundraising event to support the hunger. If you arrive early you can donate and get the bowl that they made.
