With Thanksgiving coming up we are talking about the people that we are happy to have in our lives.  Each student will be writing about one person that they are thankful for and why.  During Thanksgiving week, the students will be calling the person that they wrote about and sharing their essay with them.

November is the month that we honor our veterans.  We have created a "Wall of Honor" outside our classroom where we have listed the names of those who we know who have served or are currently serving in the military service.  It is an impressive list.  Stop by and see if you recognize any names.  And don't forget to say "Thank you" to our veterans this month.

We are very fortunate to have a new computer resource for our students. It is called "Compass Learning". This program uses the students' MAP scores to assign them games and tutorials that work on the skills that they need to improve on. This program can be used with any computer that has internet access. The username is the student's first and last name typed as one word. The password is the same as their lunch code. Make sure "Unity" is listed as the school. The site address is http://www.compasslearningodyssey.com/
There is also a link at the bottom of the page for this site. If you encounter any problems using this program, please let me know and I will try to help you solve them. The students in my room have used it here, so will probably be able to quickly get themselves logged in to the site.

Below are links to some of the online game sites the students enjoy. The 2 that say "Map test" after them contain games that correlate to the skills that are covered on the MAP (Measures of Academic Progress) test that is administered 3 times during the school year. These games will help your student(s) improve their skills and increase their MAP test scores.
