Greetings, Discovery Families! As you've been advised, Issaquah School District has changed the learning and communication platforms for the 2020-2021 school year. Please log in to your child's Clever account, to access all classroom content. This Connect page will remain open and available for the time being, but will soon be deactivated following the ISD transition.
Discovery Eagles now have access to more than 5,000 interactive electronic books (ebooks) from the publishing company Capstone. These ebooks are available to multiple readers at once and have narrators with pleasant voices. Here's how to get started:
Have fun exploring!
For some educational, creative and entertaining content from the National Center for Family Literacy, check out the website Wonderopolis at http://wonderopolis.org/
This safe, informative and thought-provoking website explores interesting questions about the world. It's designed to get you and your family to think, talk and find "a-ha!" moments together. Emerging readers may need help with the questions and navigating the answers, but there's something here for curious minds of ALL ages, no matter what you wonder about!
Some of your favorite authors and illustrators offer read-alouds, projects, drawing lessons, and more on the website Scholastic Learn at Home. It has free resources across all subject areas for grades K-5. Enjoy!

Audible offers a free collection of audiobooks for children and families at Stories.Audible.com. The site is accessible from computers, tablets and smartphones without a log-in or an Audible membership. The books are searchable by age-appropriate interest level; some are also available in Spanish, French, Italian, German and Japanese. Give it a listen!
Warmest thanks to the generous Discovery families who responded early to our 2020 PTSA library donation program! Several donated books arrived before the March school closure, and our Amazon wish list shows additional purchases. We are grateful for the books already ordered, and if you have them at home, please hold them until school starts. The “Gift A Book” program will resume next year, when this year’s student donors will be included in the recognition and prize drawings. Thank you so much!
