Technology!

Technology has entered the building!  I am pleased to let you know that we have a working projector and document camera!  We are no longer working off of the overhead.  This is a wonderful teaching and learning tool!  Starting next week, I will use powerpoint presentations to enhance our learning.  I will look into a sound system for the powerpoints, stories on cds and a possible dvd/vcr that can be hooked to the projector.  We are moving closer to having a classroom in the 21st century!  This is very exciting!

Donations

We are in need of lunch bunch treats.  Packaged treats like fruit by the foot, fruit snacks, Gushers, Handi Snacks and cookies work great!  We also need licorice, we use it weekly for fun mental math games, prizes on assignments and lunch bunch.  We are also in need of raffle prizes.  Every Friday we raffle off about 3-5 big items, 10 pencils/erasers and about 20 bite size candies.  We are in need of the big items.  Kids love white board markers, erasers, pencil pouches, markers, rulers, small toys, and highlighters.  Thank you to all who have donated already!
