A NOTE FROM OUR PRINCIPAL
Hello Howard Families,
Last week we had the pleasure of having an Apple Trainer visit our school. She was able to share with our entire staff ways to bring technology into the classroom. She even co-taught in six of our classrooms. I had the privilege of visiting these rooms during her lessons. The kids were so engaged, having fun and learning how to respond to their teachers’ questions in a new way.
This is just a little of what is coming to Howard in terms of technology and creativity. The STEM committee has been working hard planning the conversion of our existing computer lab into a STEM Lab/Makerspace. If you are not familiar with what Makerspace is check this out! PTO, thank you for your generous donation to make this space a reality. I can’t wait for all of you to see and tinker in our Makerspace in the fall.
We still have ISTEP testers next week. Please be sure you know if and when your child is testing. It is so important that they come to school ready to go. This means getting plenty of rest, eating food that feeds their brains and sticking to routines at home.
Thank you for all you do for our kids!
