Way to go Mrs. Uber's second grade!!!!

We can take our tests online!

   Starting this Friday, we will be taking our spelling tests in the computer lab.  This is great news because not only will I be able to track your progress, but you will too!  At home, you can play more games with our premium membership, use the practice tests and flashcards to get yourself ready for Friday tests.  I will be sending home a parent letter giving you your username and password as well as how I will be assigning material on the website from now on.  This will also alter your weekly homework.  I will be giving much more information over the next few days, but for now, let us rejoice in our Adopt-A-Classroom community members in their generous donations and we all give you BIG Thank you!


Mrs. Uber

Great, fantastic news!

We just got funding from our Adopt-A-Classroom website from a generous donor!  We will now have all the luxuries of a premium membership at www.spellingcity.com  I am beyond humbled and excited.  Students, this means we get to take our tests online and more GAMES!  This will also allow me to track your participation.  I will update everyone when I will have access as it looks like I may have to wait.  In the meantime, we'll be thanking our donor in class through letters!

Happily your teacher,

Mrs. Uber

World Autism Day and Awareness Month are in April. Watch this video that talks about the book "My Brother Charlie".

My Brother Charlie by Holly Robinson Peete from Expanded Books on Vimeo.

I will also be linking this video off to the right of the blog for future viewing. Click the book "My Brother Charlie" to see it again.

After watching the video, think of ways we can better understand our classmates that are Autistic. What can we do to better understand Autism?

In Honor of Opening Day for the Rays, Watch "How to Stay Healthy, the Baseball Way"
