* In order to keep our classrooms and shared spaces mice free, please be aware of where you are storing food. Teacher snacks as well as student snacks need to be completely enclosed or it will act as a magnet for mice.

*Please be sure that we are staying diligent to keep food and water away from our technology devices and carts at all times.

* On January 9th, we will be updating READ Plans during staff development. Please make sure your yellow data sheets are updated with their MOY iReady data by this date.

3rd Grade Technology CoTeaching

Third Grade Geologists have communicated their thinking using Google Slides and Screencastify. Geoloists learned how to connect their reading skill of notetaking with boxes and bullets to organize their thinking on a Google Slide. Third graders then learned how to take a screenshot and import the screenshots within their slides. To teach others, students recorded their voice using Screencastify as they shared their learning about rocks.
