Digital Resources

Many other digital resources are available and can be found on our school webpage and Mrs. Peebles' library webpage.

Your child's teacher may have already shared username and password information with you. if not, reach out to them for this.

I am re-sharing the "Winter Break" challenge calendar which has lots of fun ideas that families may want to do while we are out. You can adapt any "challenges" that require traveling or visiting places by doing so virtually.

Also - this is a great time for your child to pursue a "Passion Project". It's easy - just have them choose a topic in which they are very interested and use digital (or print resources you have at home) to research the topic. They can share what they have learned by creating a project of their choosing.

Enjoy sharing and celebrating your child's completion of any of these enrichment ideas as a family!

Youth Poster Contest Changes

Due to disruptions caused by Covid-19, we are making the following changes to our 2020 Youth Conservation Poster Contest:

• Extending submission deadline to May 8, 2020.
• Relaxing poster size requirements; any size between 8.5x11" and 14x22" is acceptable.
• Accepting online submission in lieu of hard copies: please photograph or scan your child's poster and upload a .jpg, .pdf, or .png version of the illustration on our website. (Digitally-designed posters are also welcome, as always!)
• Hard copies will still be needed to forward to the state and national competitions, so please retain the hard copy of your poster until June 15.
