NEW!
- In an effort to provide more choice for students and their families, I have begun posting a "Homework Menu." Please click the link at the top of this page and take a look at the options. Students are only required to complete ONE assignment per evening, and are not expected to do homework over the weekend. Our school's policy is that a first grade student should not be required to complete more than 10 minutes worth of homework per night. I understand that some of the students in our class enjoy extra assignments, but I don't want them to get carried away. A new menu of 16 options will be posted every two weeks. I hope that this makes homework more enjoyable and more meaningful. Thanks!

- Visit the www.thinkcentral.com by clicking on the link below. You may consider opening the link in a new window, so that you can easily refer back to these directions.
- Enter the username and password provided below.
- Once you've logged in, you can click on the "MY LIBRARY" tab on the right side.
- Now you should see ALL of our materials. You can view Language Arts or Math materials separately by using the drop down menu at the top.
- Please take the time to browse some of the materials, but for now try to view one of this week's stories: "Let's Tap"
- Use the drop down menu to view LANGUAGE ARTS materials only. Then click on the "StoryTown Student Edition G1" icon. On the next screen select "BOOK 1." Now you should see a viewable version of our reading anthology opening up. The story begins on page 28. You can enter the page number in a window near the bottom of the screen. You can also view the story one page, or two pages at a time. Look along the top of the screen for viewing options.
- Enjoy! I will always include weekly story titles and page numbers in your Weekly Study Guide - the first one will be sent home this week. Thanks!
