The kids have been using Tumblebooks, a reading program, at school for our "Listen to Reading" time during the reading block. They know how to access the site from a home computer, and we now have confirmation that it will work on iPads as well! If you go to the "Student Links" page on this site, you can find a link to Tumblebooks in our Reading Games section. Remember, the username is wdstu, and the password is books. From an iPad, after you enter the username and password, press "SUBMIT" (not GO). Next, in the same area (upper right corner), you can 'CHOOSE' iPad. It is possible that "English" will be in the choice box, but scroll down, and iPad should be an option. While we are on the topic of iPads and tablets, we have been meaning to reach out to all of you for some help. :-) We would love your input/reviews of any apps you have purchased/found for reading or math. PLEASE HELP US BY COMMENTING ON THIS BLOG ENTRY WITH READING OR MATH APPS YOU HAVE FOUND TO BE HELPFUL AND/OR FUN FOR YOUR CHILD, AND CHECK BACK EVERY SO OFTEN TO SEE WHAT HAS BEEN ADDED. Our hope is that keeping them all in the comment section will provide parents with a spot to check out if they are looking for some new learning applications. Additionally, it will help us because we are lucky enough to have 4 student iPads in our classroom, and with your input, we may be able to get new apps added to the room iPads for the kids. Thanks in advance for your assistance!

Friday, November 12, Woodland will be hosting our annual Turkey Bingo Night from 5:00-8:00 PM. Click on the words "Turkey Bingo" throughout this post to see the school flyer for the event. The silent auction will take place the same evening, and it is a fun way to raise money for our school. Last year, we raised almost $4,000.00 with our auction baskets! This year, our class is preparing a basket with the theme: Fishing Fun/Heading Up North. (Click on the theme to see the flyer we sent home.)
At the time of this post, we have 6 items for our basket (but no basket). We would love to proudly display an exciting basket for Turkey Bingo Night! Some ideas for donations might be fishing gear, sporting goods store gift cards, fishing tackle, blankets, movies to watch at the cabin, snacks, and anything else you can think of! As hinted at earlier, we also need a basket or container of some sort to hold all of our goodies. If you would like to contribute, but are unsure of what to send, you can send a monetary donation, and we will take all the money donated to Fleet Farm where we will purchase items to help fill the basket. As mentioned, the Silent Auction takes place on Turkey Bingo Night. Parents and family members can look at and bid on all the exciting baskets that will line the front halls of Woodland that evening. If you are the highest bidder, you can either pay for it and bring it home that evening, or if you leave early, you will get a phone call to set up a time to come in and pay for/pick up your basket. We can always use help with these fun school events. If you are able to volunteer some of your time that evening, please click here for a volunteer form. Thank you! This is a fun event, and we hope to see you there! |
