Kid-Friendly Search Engine!

Hi Parents!  We'll be using this site for our in-class research and our go-to for our "I wonder's..."  It does not allow any inappropriate searches and pulls up kid friendly research.  http://kiddle.co/

Pictures

Pictures are posted to Instagram/Twitter.  Stay tuned to the blog for: class updates, reminders, and student blog posts!  We are still learning digital expectations, so after the first few weeks we will be up and going regularly.

Headphones!

Please be sure your child has a pair of headphones/ear buds for class.  We will be using Chromebooks across curriculum areas and several activities/assignments will require them to listen to something.  If they do not have headphones/ear buds, they have to turn down their volume. 

THANK YOU!

Thanks to Eleanor's mom for sharing this:

First Day..Hooray!

I am so excited for our first day of 4th grade!  We are going to have a fabulous year.  Parents, if I did not receive your student info sheets at Meet the Teacher, please send those back ASAP (they are coming home today)!  If I did not get the chance to meet you, please stop by and say hello if you see me around school.  We have specials first thing in the morning so I wasn't able to meet all of you this morning.  I look forward to partnering with you this year!
