What is an EtherPad?
Imagine an entire class talking at once and getting to listen to each others' ideas.  Welcome to Etherpad.  No one has to wait  his turn or feel that he can't speak up.  Check out the following links.  Each will lead you to one of 4 group discussions on a recent Literature story.  The time slider feature should go back to show the conversation emerge in "real time." 
Group 1 
Group 2
Group 3
Group 4

MidQuarter is Monday
 Be sure to check Edline for your child's currect progress.  It is a great opportunity to discuss goals with your child for the second half of the quarter.
