One More Week Too Go!

One week left before Spring Break!  It's a busy one! 

I will be out of the building all day on Tuesday for a Library Media Specialist meeting.  We will be working on Common Core Standards for the Library.  If you have any technology needs for Tuesday, please let me know as soon as possible!  Thanks!


For the Kindergarten classes, I will be reading either Nico and Lola, for those classes who missed it last week, or Commotion in the Ocean, to go with your fish unit.  We also will visit www.seasky.org to play some fun games about the ocean.

For the PreK, I will read either a Spring book, or a Sleepy time book, to go with pajama day.  If you would like me to read something else that goes with what you are doing in your classroom, please let me know!

Have a great week!

Busy week!

Good morning!

Today at Media Monday we will be talking about the iPad.  Come and learn the fun things you can do with it!

In the Media Center this week I will be reading "Nico and Lola" to the Kindergarten classes.  This is a book about kindness.  The children will be asked to write about how they can be kind as well.

For our PreK classes I will be reading and Irish Folktale, "Jamie ORourke and the Big Potato."

On a technology note, our tech, Donna Hedrich has been very sick.  She has been at home since February 21st.   I talked to her last week and she misses all of us.  I assured her that we REALLY miss her too!  If you have any technology issues, please let me know!  Email is best, but if that's what the issue is, come talk to me!  If I can't solve the problem, the technology department will send someone over to see what they can do.

Have a great week!

March came in like a lion!!

Media Monday is NEXT Monday, March 12th.  I will be talking about how to use the iPad with your students.  I am working on how to use it with the Smartboard...

This week with the Monolingual Kindergarten classes, I will be reading "The Sneetches and Other Stories" by Dr. Seuss. We will be talking about how to be friends with everyone at school.   For the Dual Language classes, I will be reading "3 Little Dassies" by Jan Brett.  It is an adaptaion of "The 3 Little Pigs" set in Africa.  She has some interesting videos about her visit to Africa, which we will see.
All classes will be going to Seussville.com on the computers in the Media Center.

For our PreK classes, I can read more Dr. Seuss stories, or what ever might go with what you are learning in class.  Please let me know your themes so I can coordinate!  Thanks!
