PD - Share the LOVE ❤️

For Valentine's Day, I am asking staff to share a favorite resource, tool, app, idea, book, etc. and tell us why.  I hope to generate some collaboration on new ways to use some great resources!

THINGS WE ❤️

My new toy Dash

Looking forward to working with my students to program Dash and see what he can do!  Going to be offering an after school club to experiment and create with technology!  More pictures and creations to be shared....

What a fun and engaging way to get kids writing.  My third graders are starting with Nouns to kick off their 2016 writing.  We are also learning how to create a google Drive folder for storing our stories and a Google doc for the stories. Now, to find the best way for sharing them!

PD can be fun!

Tons of great ideas to bring back to the district and the library media center!

Went to a session by Naomi Harm about redesigning learning spaces. I've learned that our library space is too cold and the chairs are uncomfortable, as well as we really need to look at the color schemes (or lack thereof) on the walls and provide flexibility in seating choices.

 

Many great resources to fuel ideas for change. Lots of interesting sessions; full of ideas to incorporate.

#hourofcode ROCKS

HOC was well received by my students.  The most common response was "that was hard, but fun!"

We had pajama day on Friday AND hour of code! Too cute! Check out some of my favorite snapshots.
