Parents Can Bulk Download Their Kids' Journals on Seesaw!

THIS IS AWESOME!  As the year is coming to a close, let parents know that they can bulk download their child's Seesaw learning journal, to keep FOREVER AND EVER!  There are some step by step instructions on the Seesaw Help Center.  This is a really cool option for parents, as you get ready to archive this year's class and make room for next year's students.

Reading with your Child

At conferences, a few parents asked me about resources to better help their child read at home. I added some links to the "favorite links" section of this blog that should be helpful for parents. Check out ideas for parents at Read, Write, Think and Parent Links on the Billings Public Schools webpage.

You might also enjoy this brochure which gives strategies for helping your kids as they begin reading.

Thanks again to everyone who came into our classroom and let your kindergartners show you all of the things they are learning!
