VERBS, VERBS, VERBS

During language arts class, we will learn about identifying verbs, verb tenses, helping verbs, and forming contractions with not. To find out what you already know, I would like you to complete the survey by clicking on this website: http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dGJyYmpXMi12S2pkMWJ1MHl0VXdHaVE6MA



Your answers will be sent to me as soon as you finish. No one else will be able to see your responses.

IT'S ELECTRIC!






Check out our pics of the latest science experiment. Students were given materials to create an electrical circuit which would make a bulb light up. Our kids were en-light-ened!!

Accelerated Reader Home Connect

Renaissance Home Connect is a fun, easy-to-use, easy to understand, web-based interface that allows you to track your child's progress in Accelerated Reader. To access the site, your computer must have one of these Internet connection browsers: Internet Explorer (6.02 or later), Firefox (1.5 or later), or Safari (2.0.3 orlater). Type in this web address: https://Hosted145.renlearn.com/99253/HomeConnect/Login.aspx

From here, your child will type in his/her username and password. You will then be able to see the last book your child tested on, plus any tests he/she has taken this school year (by book cover). You can track points, percentage correct, and average grade level.

You can also set this up to send you an email each time your child tests. You can add several email addresses.
