Capstone Press
We have renewed our Capstone Press e-library
where you will find over 500 digital books that can be
used with an iPad, Whiteboard, or PC. These books
contain content that will highlight a word and speak it
aloud to early readers, some have Spanish titles and
the English versions of the same titles. To login to Capstone Library, use
the username of "dunleith" and the password of "student". Capstone
Press offers reward points for purchasing free books. This year, our
estimated rewards will total approximately $1,000 in free books. Those
k-2 teachers with a need for the rookie book materials, should meet with
me so we can order more of these titles from Capstone with our reward
points.

PebbleGo
Just as we renewed the Capstone Press Interactive,
PebbleGo is from the same company. PebbleGo
includes research materials for k-3 grades and
includes social studies, biography, animals, and earth
and space science. Login with "dunleith" as your
username and "school" as your password. Students can access both
resources from home.
