Try Tumblebooks!

If you've had trouble accessing Tumblebooks in the past week, please try again. It should be working now. If you're not familiar with Tumblebooks, it is an online collection of animated talking picture books with added puzzles and games. Harold Martin students can access it from school or from home. If you need the password, email nalibrandi@hopkintonschools.org - please include your child's name in the email.

And We're Off and Running!

In the first four days of school, I've had a chance to meet with all classes in grades one through six (with the exception of one fifth grade class that we just could not fit in the schedule - I'll see that class on Tuesday). Maple Street students have had the opportunity to come in and check out books. Most Harold Martin students will begin borrowing books this week. In addition to grades one through three, I'll also meet with the kindergarten classes this week. At Maple Street, fourth grade students will be learning how to use the Accelerated Reader program to help check their comprehension of some of their independent reading books. -----------Image adapted from Flickr image by rosmary.
