Read during the summer
Get a medal in September!
Read books, magazines, read online, read at the doctor’s office, read at church, temple or at your mosque, read to someone, have someone read to you, read in English, Spanish, Arabic, Japanese or any other language, read in a comfy chair, read in bed, read in the shade of a tree, read on someone’s lap or lying on your belly beside a buddy … It all counts as reading.
Reading during the summer will help to keep your brain strong and help make learning easier.

Did you know you can access online books, World Book Encyclopedia and other web-based resources from our School website at home?
The last 2 weeks most of the primary classes have seen a story or two presented using Tumblebooks.
If you have found the library blog, you are very close to accessing the Web Resources too. Here are the instructions for accessing our Web Resources from the school website, on a computer. Tumblebooks and most of the other resources should work from a tablet as well, though may look just a wee bit different.
Author Christian Robinson reads his picture book You Matter. Enjoy!
He also answers some questions people have asked him about writing his books at the end of the video.

Tumblebooks provided mostly online storybooks of interest to K-3 but there are some chapter books and graphic novels some grade 4-7 students may find interesting. Storybooks are read to the students and partially animated. Some of the chapter books can be read aloud and the student can follow along. Some chapter books and the graphic novels are simply for reading online.
Tumblebooks seems to work best with Chrome on a computer but may work well enough on other devices, give it a try. Mobile devices will look and function differently than computers.

Welcome, Edmonds!
My intention for this blog, for now, is to use it primarily as a repository for information, links and various resources. I will also post activities and opportunities for Edmonds students.
Feel free to comment and let me know if you need help navigating the blog or want me to post something in particular or have any other ideas.
