Bartle Google Classroom:
I have created a new Bartle Google Classroom for the 23-24 school year. I will be using Google Classroom to share important information with you throughout the year. Please take a moment to join our classroom. The class code is zh3cvoi. I have already posted information in the Google classroom and will continue as the summer and year progress. Please make sure to visit, join, and read all the information.

Please ask your students if they are ordering lunch in the morning and place their barcode in your envelope. Please have a student bring the envelope to the main office.

Responsive Classroom Greeting - Spider Web
- Holding a ball of yarn, a student greets someone across the circle and gently rolls the ball to that person while firmly holding on to the end of the yarn.
- The student who receives the ball of yarn greets another student across the circle and rolls the ball to that student, making sure to hold onto the unraveling strand with one hand.
- This continues until everyone has been greeted and the yarn has created a web across the circle.
- To unravel the web, students greet each other in reverse order until the ball of yarn is wound up again.
