I’m thrilled that we were working so hard on developing our touch typing skills before Spring Break because now we have the need and opportunity to put those skills to great use! Please continue working in ATRT. Our school code is canbcsd412086. Remember, feet flat on the floor, back straight, bellybutton at “J”. Of course, you can email me if you need your username/password.
To start this term, you can continue working on coding using Tynker. Please work on your assigned courses first, but certainly have fun completing projects of your choice. Again, send me an email if you need your username/password 🙂
I have chosen Lost in the Backyard for our next novel study. It is a Canadian novel written by, Alison Hughes. Perhaps you have read
some of her other novels in the past. Lost in the Backyard is a story told by a twelve year old boy named, Flynn who hates all things that involve being outside, especially his Outdoor Ed class. Bored to tears, on a weekend away with his parents, he somehow he finds himself lost in the wilderness behind their friends’ house. How will this city kid survive, alone, without his phone…?
Please go to the this link and choose Tumblebooks. Then, use the, “TumbleSearch” tool to, “Search by Title” for Lost in the Backyard. Then, choose, “Read Online” and read the first chapter of this novel.
I think you will enjoy this story. We will be connecting shortly to discuss your thoughts.

I have made Epic! reading accounts for all of you. When you go to the Epic! site, choose, “Students & Educators” and then enter the class code: jpe0286. From there, you simply choose your name and begin exploring. Epic! offers a selection of fiction, non-fiction and comics. They also have read to me books, and audiobooks for times when you want to just sit back and listen to a story.
