Spring Break 2017

 Who knows better than anyone what the day is like when Spring Break starts at 2:05? A teacher of course.  However we need to use every minute given to us to share and teach our students.  It just so happens to be a challenge for teachers to find something so engaging the students can't help but learn and then walks in aww.app.com  An online whiteboard where you can write, share, collaborate and send in or post your whiteboard images. A special thanks to Cassandra Stewart for sharing the possibilities during a DLTL meeting.

Our 3-5th graders will be taking the state test on the computers and I have planned several lessons on technology to get them familiar with the computer and mouse.  I used a math picture puzzle from @mathmashup to have them solve using the math principals they know.  They received a link for a clean whiteboard from me through Seesaw.  

Their next task was to solve and then download their image to Seesaw so I could see their progress.  It was amazing!

 Do you even see a friend helping another get to use the features ofAwwapp and then posting to Seesaw?

As far as our kindergartener friends and 1st graders, I thought it would be fun to get the green screen out and let them tell you their plans.

Check out the video here: 

Our leaders Dr. L and Becky P. are amazing and every year they put on a staff wide picnic thanks to Christ the King Church which uses our school for their facilities.  We have such  great time laughing and celebrating the end to another successful nine weeks.

Mrs. Nuzzo led us in a prayer to thank Christ the King for their time and dedication for this wonderful lunch.

Church members cooked and fed us all.

There were various games on the tables and we enjoyed a little time to let our hair down.

Did I mention the church also gave out gift cards to 3 lucky winners?  

We enjoyed a yummy treat from Ritter's Frozen Custard after the picnic.

Richard is our hard working Principal Secretary but oh so much more! I know I learned my first few years to make sure to friend the office staff, custodians and cafeteria workers. Richard has the pulse of the school at any given time. There are so many behind the scenes for which none knows he puts it all together and without the gratitude we should have for him. He is our district 2016 Superintendent's Outstanding Achievement Award winner and we are so very blessed to have him with us. I made a promise to myself I would catch this blog up over Spring Break so the first one is the hardest step right? Stay tuned...
