I have password protected the students’ Raz Kids accounts. Their password is their same login they use to login to the computers in the classroom. There initials and “super-secret number” (They know what this is).

I have had a problem with some students logging on to each others accounts just to see what reading level they were on, and some kids have felt bad about it. 

I have also added the “insensitives”, when they read and take quizzes, the earn points. Then they can spend them on Raz Rockets, which they really love. I encourage them to read atleast two stories and take the quizzes before they can play with their Raz Rocket Points. 
For those of you who have IPads and Smart phones, there is an Appfor Raz Kids! I have it on my phone and my daughter uses it all the time. If you are waiting in a Drs. office, or just need to kill some time, they can read wherever you are! I love it for my own kids! Try it out!

We get to go on a field trip!! Mark your calendars for Friday, September 26. We are going to Black Island Farms in Syracuse. Parent chaperones will be needed, so if you are interested please start making arrangements now. We are asking that no younger siblings attend this field trip. I will have a permission slip available soon on google docs for you to sign. I just wanted to give you a heads up about the date! We are very excited!!
