Accelerated Reader
Ms. Carmen has set up a convenient table with premade AR book kits. These kits are paired together by reading level ranging from 0-7. Also, come find one of the Librarians so they can tell you how many points a particular book may be.
What is AR (Accelerated Reader)?
Accelerated Reader is a computerized reading tool that assists with your child's reading practice. Students select books according to their appropriate reading levels. After reading the book, students take a computerized quiz and are awarded points based on performance. Points are used throughout the year to assist with monitoring your child's reading performance.

Total Solar Eclipse Info & Safety
Monday, 21 August 2017
El Paso's Viewing Times
Partial Eclipse Begins (the Moon touches the Sun's edge): 10:23AM
Maximum Eclipse (Moon is closest to the center of the Sun): 11:47AM
Partial Eclipse Ends (the Moon leaves the Sun's edge): 1:15PM
What is a total solar eclipse?
A total solar eclipse occurs when the disk of the moon appears to completely cover the disk of the sun in the sky. The fact that total solar eclipses occur at all is a quirk of cosmic geometry. The moon orbits an average of 239,000 miles (385,000 kilometers) from Earth — just the right distance to seem the same size in the sky as the much-larger sun. However, these heavenly bodies line up only about once every 18 months.
Outside the path of totality, skywatchers in the continental U.S. and other nearby areas will see a partial solar eclipse, in which the moon appears to take a bite out of the sun's disk. Two to five solar eclipses occur each year on average, but total solar eclipses happen just once every 18 months or so.
What will I see during a total solar eclipse?
During a total solar eclipse, the disk of the moon blocks out the last sliver of light from the sun, and the sun's outer atmosphere, the corona, becomes visible. The corona is far from an indistinct haze; skywatchers report seeing great jets and ribbons of light, twisting and curling out into the sky.
"It brings people to tears," Rick Fienberg, a spokesperson for the American Astronomical Society (AAS), told Space.com of the experience. "It makes people's jaw drop."
During totality, the area inside the moon's shadow is cloaked in twilight — a very strange feeling to experience in the middle of the day. Just before and just after totality, observers can see this cloak of darkness moving toward them across the landscape, and then moving away.
These effects are not visible during a partial solar eclipse, so skywatchers are encouraged to see if they are inside the path of totality during the total eclipse. https://www.space.com/33797-total-solar-eclipse-2017-guide.html
All reputable sellers nationwide are out of eclipse glasses and there are many recalls and counterfeits being sold online; however, here are some safe options below:
