Global Read Aloud Starts Monday/Tuesday
Ms. Woznick is participating in this year's Global Read Aloud with the book Prairie Lotus by Newbery Award-winning author Linda Sue Park. She will be reading it on Google Meet starting on Monday, October 5.
Students who would like to participate would listen in at home 3 times a week as we read the book and times are set to accommodate both Cohort A and Cohort B students. The read aloud is scheduled for times when many, although not all students are scheduled for independent work, lunch, or Global Apps. This is a Global Apps choice and it may also count as an independent reading option for many teachers.
See this presentation for more information about Global Read Aloud and the book. In order to participate, students must enroll in a Google Classroom - the link is in the presentation. (It's not exactly a "class" but this is an easy way to keep things organized and private.) They must enroll from a device logged into the student's school login.
Students do not need to have a copy of the book to participate, but if you would like to purchase one, Copper Dog Books in downtown Beverly is offering us a special 20% off coupon code for this title! Simply search for Prairie Lotus (or go directly to this page) and put the book in your shopping cart. When you have completed your order and go to checkout, put in the coupon code READALOUD. You will have a choice of having the book shipped to your home, or you can also opt for free in-store pickup or home delivery within 5 miles.
For more information, contact the BMS librarian, Ms. Woznick at awoznick@beverlyschools.org.
Charging problems with iPads?
2. The wall socket (or outlet strip): Move items 1,3 & 4 to another room (a different wall socket). Does it charge now?
3. The charger block: Swap your charger with another charger for an iPad or iPhone. Does it charge now? (Note : it will charge very slowly with a 5W iPhone charger, but it will charge. iPad chargers are 12W)
4. The charging cord: Swap your cord with another cord for an iPad or iPhone. Does it charge now?
These steps should help you isolate where the issue is. If you have further problems, check with the BMS Tech department at bmstech@beverlyschools.org and tell them which of these steps you have tried and what the result was.
Today is World Postcard Day!
October 1 is World Postcard Day!
Ms. Woznick has signed up for Postcrossing and has been sending and receiving postcards from all over the world! We are starting to get some students involved in writing some of these cards, or your family may enjoy signing up for their own free membership.
View a blog with the BMS Postcrossing postcards or contact Ms. Woznick if you'd like to know more.
