The End of October!

This week in the Media Center for Kindergarten, we will continue to do the Second Step Assessment.  If I have not read "Martha Doesn't Say Sorry"  to your class yet, I will this week!  It was amazing when I read it to the classes last week.  They were spellbound!  Then we had a good discussion on when and why it's important to say sorry. We also practiced saying "It's OK!" when someone says sorry to you! (Martha DOES say sorry in the end!)
Other choices are: Too Many Pumpkins, Library Mouse, or Big Pumpkin (on Wednesday). 
I also have a little book to read with the kids, "What Will I Be?"  I can do this with your class if you would like as an activity.

For PreK this week I bought The Monster at the End of  This Book App for my iPad.  I would love to share it with your classes!  Other choices include: I Went Walking, or The Biggest Pumpkin Ever.

In Technology news, our technology committee is beginning the work on aligning our software to the Common Core Standards.  If you would like to help, you can!  You can contact any of us, to let us know what software you always use, and why.  Our committe is:  Megan Wilson, Nikki Kunde, Laura Bianchi, and myself.  We could really use some help with the Spanish software, any volunteers?
Also Donna has been hard at work getting our building all up to date!  We are very close to having all of the computers where they belong, and in good working order.  Be sure to let me know if you are having any computer problems!  Thanks!

Have a very (Happy Halloween) week!
