Each member of the class worked on producing an online story book using the Story Jumper website. You can check out the site here.
Jordan did such a great job on his book that I decided to get it ordered from America and sent over. Story Jumper allows you to publish any of the online books you have created.
Jordan dedicated the story to his younger sister and when it finally arrived he read it to the class.
Great work, Jordan. We are all very proud of you.

We have started a new Spelling program this year called Words Their Way.
