Do you know about The Source? Here you can see your child's attendance, state assessment scores, learning plans, library checkout history and other great information.

Click on The Source at the top of the Seattle Public Schools website and then Click on Begin Registration. Make sure you have the following before starting the process:
  • Your student's full name
  • Your student's ID# (found on your student's ASB card)
  • School your student attends
  • Your student's date of birth

Many parents have been asking me  - How do I know what books my child has checked out? How can I see my child's assessment scores? Here's your solution! 

Have a great weekend!

Stay connected with the QAE Library and follow us on Twitter. Whether it's a photo, interesting comment, useful web link, book review, reading celebration, (the list goes on and on ...) following us on Twitter will give you snapshots of your child's day at school. Could that help start conversations at home? My husband asks our daughter "How was school today?" and he's gets the same answer everyday.  He now follows @QAELibrary on Twitter.  Check out the Twitter feed on the home page. Nice.

Brain Pop for the Brain

We love Brain Pop and Brain Pop Jr.! Self-directed students can explore an area/concept they are interested in learning more about and do extension/enrichment activities to follow-up. We've purchased a school license for our students to have access, 24/7!

Often times we will use Brain Pop to set up new learning and then invite students to explore a specific area. I am hearing from teachers that "homework" may include activities from Brain Pop.
For the iPad and iPhone there are Brain Pop apps available. I've heard Ms. Cryan share that her son, Jack, watches a Brain Pop movie in the morning and they talk about  it. Feed the brain in a meaningful and exciting way! Check it out.
