AR at home: Info. for Parents and Students

According to Ms. Combs, AR can now be accessed at home. While students can not take AR tests, they can view goals, points earned, tests taken, etc. To log in from home, go to the BCMS website's Media and Technology Page. From here you will click on the link "AR for Parents." Use your child's username and password (it's the same one for egrades.)

EXTRA CREDIT

The Young Author's Contest is a great way to earn extra credit! I have entry forms for this in my classroom. The theme this year is "It's a Fact." You must write a nonfiction piece in poetry or prose about a true experience, a news article, or a biography. I will award 15 points extra credit on a test for students who follow all the directions. Entries are due to me by Nov. 5.

Voicethread

Okay, Marlins. We've completed our first project using Voicethread. What did you think of this program? I had so much fun sharing this with you!
