Capstone eBooks
We earned many bonus points from Capstone, so we will be adding some more books to our collection through this incentive. I also plan to order some Follett eBooks within the next two weeks.
Email Traci if you'd like to set up a time for your class to explore the eBooks or set up personal devices to use the Follett app.
Coding
Coding helps students with problem solving, cause and effect, and computational thinking, just to name a few. Students also learn to persevere, experiment, use trial and error and use teamwork.
This thinking helps them excel in other academic areas, such as reading, writing, science, and math.
Want to give it a try? Stop by and talk or send Traci an email. There are many free websites, and everything from an hour of trying it out to a full self paced class for your students.
