__Study Island News__~

A reminder to you, that Study Island is available all throughout the school year (and summer!). Please continue to use this as a way to practice math and reading skills with your child. They especially enjoy the games section!!! :-)  Book orders are available online. The same magazine that I send home in the classroom will be made available online for you to purchase directly from the site, but still allow our class to receive credit for your order!

**New Technology Website...very cool...perhaps a good project for summer?** This is a great website that allows students to learn about word processing. The site begins by giving a pre-test. Then allows students to advance to a particular grade level based on their answers.

"  Here you will learn how to use a word processor to create documents for school or other projects. You’ll learn to format fonts, add images and some really cool effects. What’s great is that you don’t have to have a fancy computer program to do this - just your Word Pad " Mrs Sterling's Word Pad is a website that has mini-lessons and activities for students to help them learn how to use the word processor. It’s important our young students learn how to properly format text (you don’t center text using the tab key or space bar!!), find/replace, add images, etc.

 * Volunteering:**

I typically ask volunteers to come in approximately 2 times/week to assist in practicing essential skills, vocabulary, sight words, basic facts, etc. I also am in need of volunteers who are willing to make copies and periodically I have items that can be worked on from home. If you have a special preference to help in a certain subject area please contact me directly and I will set up a specific time for you to come in when we are having that subject. Thank you in advance for being willing to come in, the students benefit greatly from your time and dedication.
