eStoria Reading

 Here are some pictures of the students using our iPads to read stories on the Scholastic eStoria app.  This app can currently be found on your Apple products.  You can also download this program on any computer.  When downloading on your computer just go to the Scholastic website www.scholastic.com and click to download the app.

When ordering from our Scholastic book orders, you can also make purchases on your eStoria account for new books.  The kids love this app and it's a great learning tool.  This past month I used some of the bonus points we earned from our class book orders to buy new digital books for our eStoria account.  This coming Friday I will be sending out our Book Order form for the month of February.  I plan to do the same with our bonus points this month.  Every dollar amount you spend will go towards FREE books for our classroom.  THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for your Scholastic orders.  You may not realize it, but you have helped provide our class with countless new books both in digital and paperback form.  On a side note, I'm so happy to announce that our class logged over 9,000 hours read and donated over 450 books by participating in the Paws for Reading program that ended in December of 2012.  Even though our Paws for Reading program is over, I hope that you are continuing to read nightly with your little one.  Whether your child is reading to you or you are reading to your child or both, I hope you set aside a little time each evening for a little reading fun.
