Class Rules

This process began by children thinking about ideas to make our classroom a safe place where we can do our best learning.  We looked at all our ideas and decided what was most important to make this happen.

Class Rules:

1. Treat others the way you want to be treated.

2. Take care of our things.

3. Be safe.

4. Follow directions.


Booklist with a twist! Children themselves evaluate the books and write reviews of their favorites.

Children's Choices for 2012
Since 1974, Children’s Choices have been a trusted source of book recommendations used by teachers, librarians, parents—and children themselves.

Typing Practice

Why learn to touch type?
When you can do it well, touch typing is the fastest way to write. Many people can soon learn to touch type faster than they can write with a pen. The important things to remember are:


You will need headphones or speakers to enjoy the song and dance in each game. The games use the Flash plug-in - if your computer doesn't have Flash, you can find information on how to download it here, or you can play the alternative interactive versions available at each stage.

Lexia at Home!

Lexia is a reading program that is being used in Grades K-5. It supports reading acquisition, helps to prevent reading failure, and remediates those students having reading difficulties. It is recommended that your child have an opportunity to use the Lexia software program at home for twenty minute sessions a few times per week. It is expected that this extra practice time in addition to school time use will have a positive impact on students' reading performance. To sign into Lexia your child's username will be their first name, underscore, last name. You will need to go to "Favorite Links" and download from the "Lexia Reading Student Software Download" in the left column...The school code is 2488 0358 0828 5319. Please feel free to e-mail me or contact me during school time, if you are experiencing difficulty accessing this site.

Dear Parent,

Now it’s easier than ever to find the perfect books for your child—shop our NEW online Book Clubs Web site. Choose from a much-wider selection of books than in the printed flyer. Plus, you can send your orders directly to me online and use your credit card to pay.

Best of all, we earn a FREE book for the classroom library every time a parent places an order online.

It’s so simple! Here’s how it works:

Ordering online is fast, easy, and secure.

Of course, you can still order using the form from the printed flyer. But why not see for yourself how convenient it is to order online?


Thank you,

Mrs. Tynan
