This week in the library all students are learning how to log on into their myon account and reading books.  Each student has an account.  They can use myon at home or at school. What is myon?  I pulled this from the website:
myON is an award-winning personalized literacy environment that incorporates:
  • A state-of-the art learning platform
  • Enhanced digital reading content
  • The Lexile® Framework
  • Cutting-edge literacy tools
  • Embedded metrics to monitor activity and growth
Students can choose to have the book read to them or they can read on their own.  They have Spanish and English books!  Parents, you can get your child's username and password from their teacher.

Our GT group has started researching famous African American inventors, using mackinvia.com.  They are going to create a poster using their research about the person they chose.  The posters will be displayed around our school.  More to come!
