Dear Parents,
Razkids is now functioning at optimal level. Please feel free to use this resource! The code will be sent in the agenda shortly.

Please click the Twitter to view your child`s post. We are participating in the Global Read Aloud 2015. Some of the posts are for children in other classes to read, as we are also participating in a global guessing game, where we post two facts and one "stumper". For Twitter, the students each have an "animal spirit name" which is written in your child`s agenda. Communication is a two way street, if you would like to direct message your child please use their " animal spirit name"and they will read your message on the smart board the next morning. Thanks to "Wild Dog`s" Mom for starting the trend!

We have more Grade 2 lego movies to post shortly. You will also be able to view them Progress Report Night when you visit. Thank you for your patience.

The kidblog is also set up and we will be using that in class, as we have connected with five classes  for Global Read Aloud 2015. Kids will have access to it and a sign in code. I will curate the comments. It`s a secure way for them to post their thoughts about the books we are reading and to read and respond to other children from other countries.
