Columbus Day week

Technology news:
Donna, our tech, has been ill, so will not be with us this week.  If you have any computer issues, please let me know.  If I can't fix it, I will put in a work order.  If it is and emergency, I can call technology and someone will come fix it.  We hope Donna will be better SOON!
If you'd like to contact her, a phone call works best, or a card,  Believe it or not, she does not have internet at home!
Projectors:  If you have difficulty with the projector connecting to your laptop, try, pressing Fn F8.  Hold down the "Fn" key and then press F8.  It should first show only on the screen, then if you do it again, it should show on the monitor and the screen.  I have been noticing some problems with our projectors.  If this happens to you, please let me know exactly what happened so I can better fix it.  At the moment the one in the Reading Room won't go on at all!  But we are working on it!

For Kindergarten this week the choices are:
Fall is for Friends,
   Activity:  Leaf Rubbings
A Tree is Nice,
   Activity:  Class book, and Tree Website
Rhyming Dust Bunnies
   Activity:  Make Dust Bunnies
The WorryWarts
   Activity:  Ww work

Also as part of my Professional Growth Plan, I will be working on Research in Kindergarten.  I hope to meet with a different PLC team each month so we can collaborate on what we should research.  I don't want to make this a burden on anyone, so I will work to fit it into your class's program.  Most of what I'll be doing will happen in the Media Center but, there may be some things you will need to do in your classroom as well.  This is a very exciting part of the Common Core Standards!  I am looking forward to working with all of you!

For PreK this week we have 2 choices:
A Fall Book
Yuck! Stuck in the Muck!-on my iPad and the Smartboard.

If you are reading this blog right now, I thank you so much!!  You fill my bucket!
Have a great week!
