TumbleBooks

We can access Tumblebooks through the South Carolina State Library for free! Tumblebooks is an online library of ebooks that will read aloud to students while they follow along. It is a bit of a trick to get into the site so it does not ask for a password.
Here are the directions: Go to the State Library website: http://www.statelibrary.sc.gov/On their home page on the left-hand side , click on: DayByDaySC Family Literacy Calendar. On the DaybyDay page there is a link that says "Access TumbleBooks and search for this book title."

Ronald McDonald House

Ronald McDonald House Pop Tabs program
When a family is dealing with a child hospitalized with a medical crisis, the Ronald McDonald House offers a home-away-from-home. With all the basic necessities provided, the family can focus on the health and support of their child, rather than food, shelter, laundry and transportation.
JBE will now be a proud sponsor of this charity and begin collecting aluminum pop tabs!
We will kick off our pop tab collection for the Ronald McDonald house in Greenville, with a competition between Little Guys (grades 5K- 2) and Big Guys (grades 3 – 5)!
While the collection of pop tabs will be an on-going charity for JBE, the competition will run from Monday, January 23 through Friday, March 23. Aluminum pop tabs will be brought to school and collected by each home room teacher. Tabs will be weighed every Friday, and an announcement will be made each Friday afternoon so everyone knows how many pounds we have collected and which group is ahead. There will also be a poster outside the cafeteria indicating the current collection status of each team.
Our goal is 1000 pounds (1 million pop tabs!). When we reach this goal, someone from the Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Upstate will come to JBE and present a representative from the winning group with a plaque indicating that we are members of the Millions of Tabs Club. In addition, our school’s name will be added to the donor plaque at the Ronald McDonald House in Greenville.
