Today we learned how to get onto Tumblebooks on the iPad. In January, students will be using the ipads for listening to reading. If your child has not brought in headphones/buds please do as they will need them. Also, if you have access to the internet students are able to go onto Tumblebooks at home: Username: sd36bc and password: sd36bc. Tumblebooks has a variety of fiction and non fiction books for the students to listen to. If you have telus, tumblebooks might be part of your package and students can go on the tv to listen to reading. We do encourage students to continue to read for 20 minutes a day over the holidays. Listening to reading is in addition to this.
