Summer fun


Somehow the summer has flown by again.  We have two weeks before we report back to work, but I have several meetings and workshops to attend so it feels like I am back to work.  I am excited for the new year to start and look forward to meeting my new students and their families.  I have many goals this year including improving my parent engagement.  I am reading a book called Teach Like A Pirate, and I am excited to try out some new student engagement strategies.  I am going to help many of our staff with their new smart boards, and our cart of iPads.   One of the most anticipated things for my new school year is that I received a grant of $5000 to purchase 18 chrome books. I am looking forward to moving my classroom to a paperless room.

I have a few more days to enjoy with my dogs before we are back full time!!
