       Our class learned how to use the computer program RAZ Kids this past week.  Some of the students already knew how, due to past experience.  I went over the program with the whole class.  We will begin using it next week during centers.  If you have internet service, your child may use this program at home also.  I am sending home a sheet of paper explaining how to access the website.  Enjoy!



Cody will be our student of the week for next week.



Book Fair/Ice Cream Social
    The book fair & ice cream social was a big success once again!  Thank you for your generous donations to our class for the book fair.  We were able to purchase several new books.  Thanks!
