I-Ready is the new learning program for Moyer, but it has been acting up for a while now. Things like 4th graders having to do 1st grade work. Things like not allowing us in but we are putting in the right username and password. Teachers have had their kids retake the diagnosis, but it has still made them do really easy work. These things should be fixed by now. Things have been way too stressful for the teachers, I-Ready was supposed to make things easier and a decrease of work for the teachers, but things have been the opposite. Some classrooms have to stop working on I-Ready and have to go on a different website to play math games or something else. Some classes have been skipping going to the computer lab or I-Ready lab. Classes have been doing it so that they only do math or only do reading during the time that they are there. Do you agree that the children can The pick out the subject that they do? Children may only do reading, or only do math so that they only have to do the subject that they like. Next time you go to do I-Ready I Horse's Mouth hope it works. Staff

Shure, but it also goes out of, get ready to get gross, your Eyes, Mouth, Ears, and Nose, and many other places I can’t start to explain. Here’s the question, will America start to get out the hazmat suites? The answer is a definite, without a doubt ,NO. a medical hospital can contain and cure a patient with Ebola. this is because Ebola originated in west Africa, and west Africa is a very poor country, so the virus is only lethal to that continent. the reason why the Ebola virus is not effected to America is because of our medical technology. we will be able to track and stop the virus a lot quicker than the doctors in Africa.one case of Ebola in America is a nurse who was treating a Ebola patient was infected in Dallas. Her dog was found decontaminating her home later that day. she is being treated in the hospital but will be released soon. doctors are handling the situation very well, so don’t worry about it. Hopefully the cure will be released to the continent. president Barrack Obama has sent 50,000$ and 500 troops to West Africa. well, that’s all you need to know about Ebola. stay strong America!
