A Peek at Our Week:

Technology Tip:
We will be using Edmodo.com this year in our classroom to access websites and learning apps. Each child has been assigned a specific username and password. Once your child has signed in to Edmodo, click on the Folders link (left side) to find online resources for your child to use, or use the Apps Launcher (right side) to use learning apps for spelling or math. Your child will bring home a passwords card today.
