FELIZ DIA DE ACCION DE GRACIAS

Gracias por...

Thanksgiving is just two weeks away and we are ready to express thankfulness, gratitude and appreciation to God, family and friends. "GRACIAS POR LA FAMILIA, POR LOS AMIGOS Y  POR NUESTRAS MASCOTAS"

***Deficiencies went out on last week so please make sure you ask your child if they have one, get it signed, and have it returned to on Monday.

SOME ACTIVITIES FOR THIS WEEK

1. MI PRIMER LIBRO VIRTUAL / MY FIRST VIRTUAL BOOK:  http://www.zooburst.com

ZooBurst is a digital storytelling tool that lets anyone easily create his or her own 3D pop-up books.

Once constructed, books can be inspected from any angle from within a 3D space, and rotating around a book is as easy as dragging and dropping a mouse. Each character can have its own 'chat bubble' that pops up when that character is clicked. In addition, authors can also record their own voices using the ZooBurst audio recorder to have their characters really 'speak' when clicked!
