Want to check out a book from your school library? You can!Second through fifth graders have all been taught how to place a book on hold using the Destiny Discover App located in Clever. Ask your child to show you how it works. The remote students do not have the app in Clever, but there is a link in Otus under Class Board for them to access the catalog from there. Kindergarten and First graders will need an adult to help them place a book on hold. Please see this video for instructions.
Here's what you need to know:
Once your child has placed a book on hold, it will be pulled and checked out to them. Books are available in the vestibule at school with their name(s) on them. Please do not come to the school until you receive an email confirming that your child’s book is ready for pick up. Don’t want to pick up? Please remember everyone has access to our ebooks and audiobooks from the Sora App in Clever. Here is a video explaining how to access Sora if you need a reminder. All second through fifth graders have been taught how to utilize Sora. Please ask your child how it works. Ask them to read a book with you. It's a great way to read together!

We hope that you and your family are well and enjoying your time together. We understand you have received some learning resources from the district and will pick up your child’s iPad from Braeside. Likely you have seen and shared many ideas from friends and/or social media too. We would like to share some optional supplemental resources specific to your child’s learning experience thus far in kindergarten. Linked to this email are tools and applications that your students are comfortable using. At this time, please do not let your child post new items to Seesaw. We will let you know if there is a time for this. You may choose to have your child watch videos previously shared. The resources below are provided as an opportunity not a requirement. Please remember your child is used to playing inside and outside every day, in addition to Physical Education, Music, and Art. Continuing self-directed play at home is developmentally appropriate and incredibly beneficial for your child. Typically we start the week with a new Mystery Doug video, here is this week’s question: How is a rainbow made? We look forward to calling you at your child’s scheduled conference time. We will use the phone number you listed in PCFast as your contact. Please note this is a time to discuss your child’s progress this year, we will not be discussing future e-learning plans. Please know that we miss learning with your students and our classroom community. Please take care of yourselves and your family, stay healthy and safe at this time. Thanks for your understanding and support during this difficult time. We hope to connect as a class community soon, even if it is virtually.
