Raz-Kids
The students were very excited about having the opportunity to go into the computer lab to use the program Raz-Kids, which has been purchased by our school district. It is a web site that encourages children to read. This web site can be accessed from home if you have internet or at the public library. The web site is: http://www.raz-kids.com/main/Login. I will be sending home a letter with the information for this web site. I would like to encourage the children to use it.
