My students are very excited to be reading ebooks at home that they can download from the Follett Shelf.  Parents, if you have any questions about this website or selecting books for your children that are at their reading levels, please contact me.  Another option for reading books electronically is the RAZKids website.  Most of the students are familiar with this website and can login independently.  Again, if there are any questions about logins, please contact me and I can get you started.  Achieve3000 is going strong as a reading website that students are utilizing at home and reading articles that interest them.  This is the website being used with my after school group and I am very proud of the progress my students are making in the PASS program.  Their goal is to achieve 75% or higher on their first quiz.  They sometimes need reminders to slow down and think about what they are reading, but we should start to seem strong gains in their reading levels.  Thank you to all the parents helping us by having your children read at home.  Their efforts are paying off!!!!

Welcome

Hello!  My name is Mrs. Obrenovich and I have the wonderfully fulfilling job of teaching at Jefferson Elementary in the mornings and Mitchell Elementary in the afternoons.  I have very much enjoyed meeting and working with my students this school year.  As we enter into the month of December, it is important to continue reading at home with your children.  More importantly, make sure your child has reading material they are truly interested in.  There is so much good literature to choose from.  If they're not bringing home books from school, take your family to the local library.  The West Allis Public Library has a lot to offer and is located at 7421 West National Avenue.  Also, here is a list from the International Reading Association of books that children have recommended.  http://www.reading.org/Libraries/awards/ChildrensChoices2012_web.pdf

Thanks for visiting my blog.

Happy Reading!  -  Mrs. Obrenovich
