Farewell 2013-2014, Hello 2014-2015!

Bittersweet was the word of the day...and no, we aren't talking chocolate.  It's always sad to see the kids leave at the end of the year, but we are already looking forward to next year.  We have been busy packing up all of the classrooms and creating maps of how the new classrooms will look.  WES may be reorganized next year, but we know that the heart of the school will be exactly where we left it.  

Summer is time for fun, relaxation and some math and reading (right?)!  We have a few websites that are super fun and will help kids practice their math, reading and general academic skills.  All are free and some even have prizes for certain levels of participation!

Math:

• tenmarks.com
• Parents need to sign up and create a free account.  It's free for now, but it is usually fee based.
• sumdog.com
• Great basic skills practice!
• play.dreambox.com/login/7ubj/kewaskumsd
• Kids will need the login and password they were given at school.

Thank you PTO

Thank you to our wonderful PTO for supporting our classroom with Chromebooks.  They voted last night to purchase 21 Chromebooks to support the students in the 3-5 classroom next year.  In addition, they also agreed to purchase Chromecast. This will allow students and teachers to project what they are doing on their computer to the Promethean board.  We are excited for our new technology!  Click here to learn more about Chromebooks.
