This Weeks Poem

   Five Little Leprechauns

Five little leprechauns dressed in green

They’re the funniest men

I’ve ever seen

The 1st one has a big gold ring

The 2nd one has a song to sing

The 3rd one wears a funny wig

The 4th one likes to dance a jig

The 5th one nods his head to say

“We wish you a happy St. Patrick’s Day!”

Raz kids

Hi everyone,

I know that some people have been asking about Raz kids.

What is Raz Kids?- It is a website and an app where students can read books at their level.

How do I know what level my child is reading at?- I have set your child’s reading level in their profile and I am able to track their progress. At the end of each book is a quiz to see if they understood the story; I am able to see these results and adjust your kids level if needed.

How do I keep my child motivated?- Every time your child completes a book they receive stars which they can use to build their character.

How do I get on Raz kids- You can download the app or go to www.kidsa-z.com
