Gentry as most of the staff is it cheats yes not right sheets will be giving out free meals to people with children that they can go up to the cash register and say that they need a meal so we want to make sure that our teachers get that parents that are on that you share that with other parents just to make sure that our kids are all getting fed and so we really appreciate sheets for doing that people will be doing this every Wednesday one week it will be 2 to 3 for English the next week will be 9 to 10 for English and we're going to do reading Roundup electronic resources reading together next week then we'll be on spring break then mr. Klein will be doing a topic of engaging students with technology then miss Winfield will be talking about getting things done when we're at home checking in to see how everybody's doing before we get started everybody we should all talk at once but how about a thumbs up if you're doing okay to the side if you're like I could be better or some down we just need to really be checking in with you all right you guys will it we're going to go ahead and hand it over to miss white thank you Miss why for doing this today you are welcome you're very welcome okay I am going to start a telling you not to feel like you need to be writing this down or be ashamed because I already I've got a PDF of all the link and all the information spell officer that out on ClassDojo and I'm possibly on Facebook if that's possible so I'm going to switch over to share my screen make sure we're in English Okay can I see that picture Betty White we're good the first one that I want to share with you is really kind of like a gold standard I think it was one of the first web pages to ever come out and have books read aloud and that is Storyline Online it is a favorite of kids if you show them this they will probably they should know what you're talking about it's got a really wide selection of really thin popular books and their read by famous people numbers of the sag-aftra and so I just think they do a really good job like this I'm going to try this one real quick not all of it but a little introduction to the fullest they talk about what they're doing who they are I'll just skip ahead so you can just sing so that's just a quick quick show is good if you are going to like if you need something for your kids to do while you are fixing dinner cleaning up the house or whatever you need to do and you want them to have some reading experience this website is a really good option this next one story time from space that is also a really good option this one has astronauts you are reading stories in outer space and so they're all Elizabeth for science space or space space in some form so here's just a little example that one skip ahead so we can sing so I showed Alias some of these in the media center and the kids get really excited to know that like these books are being read by people who are actually orbiting the Earth inner and outer and those two both of those are easy to access the once you get it started the kids can listen to it by themselves and they don't require sign the next called the stable Cottage and I found this one actually through a different website but what I really like about this one other than you don't have to have a sign in is that it has read aloud in most languages you can anyone but you do have to watch this one because they have some free options and then I have some some paid off you can play the audio you can watch the video and then so once again this one good cuz you can pick your kids on it once you get them started you don't have to stand over them and make sure the pages are turning and that they're their reading is something that you can put them on the next to our little bit more complicated so I'm going to walk you through those this one is it's it's from Follett Destiny and Follett Destiny is the resource manager that are libraries in our district they opened up there bre book resources to family and so we can share this with our families we just can't post this information light out on Facebook are out in public we need to keep it with him in our families and so it's kind of complicated you go to the destiny discover you want to keep your location right here and then you entered this school in I'll let you be learning and it'll pop up you have a wide selection of books now these are not video books these are books well let me rephrase that these are not all straight videos their interactive book so here's one on money okay we'll try that again the password or the username is gas in the password is Follett but then open up a lot and they have a lot of different features some of them will have interactive mask some of them will have shorts this is one know that I would I would definitely recommend you do with your kids I wouldn't just put them on it and have them Ford Explorer I like this one has some of the pages have activities you can do on and some of them had just back some of them Interactive he says like this one has a word search that goes along with the book so she has several different things like different activities you have read aloud option so you will find that but not all of them and then the last one that I want to share with you is Spanish from the north Carolina Public Library one thing that a lot of parents don't know and I didn't even know until recently is that every kid who has a student ID number with Thomasville City Schools North Carolina a card for dairy resources go to the web page sorry I was trying to make sure it was working earlier did you want to end up on it co. Davidson. NC. Us last u74 library and then over here you'll have a login to your library account is that your life that your students library card is their ID number and so I had to borrow my son so don't anybody copy and their password is four digit but once you get in you have available to you all of the North Carolina Digital Library so there's a regular Digital Library with adult books there's a kids digital there's a tumble books subscription in the tumble books for the young kids and for the older group they have ebooks they have movies inside of the air videos and again because this is open and it's not super control it's one that I would definitely want to explore with my kid especially in the beginning while they're checking borrow it and watch it sounds like a library card at will have some how many you can check out I don't know what the limit is pretty it's fairly easy to use excuse me for a minute did you say that you're going to be forwarding all these websites to us yes I'll drop a PDF in the chat box and then I'll also share it on dojo and Facebook I'm with the sign-in instructions and down the steps to be taking it to the resource and so that was it if I have resources that when I started but when I started looking for free resources that would be good for our families and for our kids those are the five ones that I thought would be the most beneficial Crystal I love those that Library one is fantastic isn't it is exactly and they can use my video off in case I pick it up but I love that because our students they already have that memorized a lot of them and a lot of its also aren't those the ones on are the tags on their backpacks yes I think so I think that's fantastic so they'll be able to access more books but it is awesome because all of the North Carolina Digital Library which include stuff for adults there is genealogy resources so if you want to spend resourcing your genealogy you can access those which is what I usually do but we're trying to find books if you know the digital reserve a really great place to videos you can sign up for that it'll even send you like suggestions each week for that I found it was really cool they have a kindergarten cartoon section where they children can watch it in multiple languages the same cartoon witches I hear other languages and I believe you have the direct link on our website and I believe that was added earlier is also to get to the North Carolina public library resource thank you very much Miss why I also wanted to mention PBS Kids a daily they send out a daily email that includes video and games and projects it's all at once for the day and if you go to PBS Kids to the parents you can sign up for that and you will get that every single day and it's got a whole I mean it's got a whole slew of activities for each and every day with a topic which I think is really fun so I can see any I'm sorry my kids have been doing the PBS kids and they oh good cuz I kind of looked at it from my perspective so yeah good yes I actually have to pull them off and make them go and do prodigy or do you kids A to Z or do something else cuz they want to stage on PBS Kids how much for them to do so many options videos and there are so many things that they can do on that that is a really wonderful thank you for sharing that and I just you know I want to reiterate every time we get together

Winx like already downloaded and save, I just feel not easier than having to spend it can I record it myself resume they should she can't recorded the song well I didn't think the teacher would would be the one that has to set up there also teachers enchantment Any teacher that wants you but also doing YouTube videos you can watch it anytime today they send that out 2 weeks so that's another term
