Happy Veteran's Day!!
Thank you, again!
I'll try to address a few of the questions next Wednesday, but I also think that would be a great time to do a Breakout EDU together! I'll get it set up!

Techy Becky Request
Becky Miller works at the Tech Center. She has taken Lisa Poshpisil's position. She is also pretty awesome; you can follow her on twitter @Techy_Becky
Below is the link you'll need for any tech requests from Becky Miller:
The reason that I'm giving you this information is that we are merely days away from getting 50 iPad minis to use in grades K-4, plus another 16-18 to use in the Pre-School! Becky is getting the apps loaded onto them and I hope to have them in the building right before Thanksgiving!
I will try to get Becky to come to one of our PLC meetings and tell us the great things she can do with/for us!

Videos of the Week
That got me thinking about how I learned the parts of speech--on Saturday morning cartoons! Although "Lolly, Lolly, Lolly, Get your Adverbs Here" was probably my favorite, I did include the one on noun below.
One problem: if you use the School House Rock video, you'll probably have to teach your students what a "record machine" is and who the Monkees and Chubby Checker were!
Have a great weekend and enjoy the weather!
