Common Core Standards Shortcut & Dropbox

After 3 ag-ra-va-ting days without internet service at home, I'm back online!  Yay!  :)  I really missed y'all.

Here's a super cool Common Core shortcut...  right over here ------------->>

Click it.  Isn't it cool?  Want to get your own?  Check it out here.

Also, have you checked out Dropbox?  I live in fear of losing my precious files, so I back up everything important on my laptop, desktop, and flash drive.  An easy solution is to use Dropbox.  You get 2 G of storage for free, but if you click this link,  you'll get another 250 MB for free.  Enjoy!!

    I can't use dropbox because it's not an approved site for our district....so I just use google docs.

      Jen,
      Makes sense. I would, too, if I couldn't access Dropbox. We have trouble accessing Google Docs sometimes in our district, since we have a really old version of Internet Explorer on all school computers. (County policy - the email doesn't work with the higher versions!)

    I was aggravated about having to email/transfer from flash drive all of the files I use to my coworkers. Now, I just share my stuff on dropbox and it's made life so much easier.

The ultimate goal of literacy is to help students become life-long readers, so they can be educated citizens. The child's first and most influential teacher is their parent and/or guardian. With that in mind, it is crucial to give families the tools they need to help this child, as well as other children in the household. {Here's a link to an article from The Atlantic:  How Family Game Night Makes Kids Into Better Students } I love to invite families to school for Literacy Night. I've helped organize, prepare, and lead Literacy Nights at least 8 times over the course of my teaching career, and I plan to continue this for years to come.
