Google Cardboard - endless possibilities
Google cardboard creates a virtual reality where students can take virtual field trip and control where they go and what they see. Feel free to check them out from the library. We have 3 available.
Mrs. Rogers used them to discuss adjectives and the setting of a story by traveling to different places with the cardboard. Students had to describe the place they were "visiting" while other students created a picture of the setting using the adjectives they were given.
New Learning SpAcE!!
Take your new class set of white boards, get creative and take learning to new areas.

Hype up your students!!!
This year students are filming the fun actives they are doing in class to learn a concept as well as explaining the content and then merging it together into a video.
Mrs. Hays will show the videos next year when introducing a new unit to "hype up" her students about the upcoming learning!! Great job Mrs. Hays! :)

Think … PowerPoint with benefits. Whatever you put together on Nearpod is sent directly to your students’ device by entering a code. YOU control moving forward. What’s even better, it provides options for interactive elements that you could NEVER do in PowerPoint like interactive questions and quizzes!
