Teacher Shout Outs!
Mrs. Bowden-2nd Grade
I am proud of Mrs. Bowden and her efforts to get the ball rolling with Learning.com. She was even willing to help a fellow teacher with set-up during their grade-level meeting. She has also started her 2nd graders off with PowerPoint through Office 365 and make them collaborative by learning to share them with each other to work together.
Her enthusiasm for learning new things is amazing this year. I can only imagine where she and her students will be by the end of the year. Keep it up!
Mrs. Roper-5th Grade
Mrs. Roper is helping her students learn more about Google Slides with the help of the iTeach Coach! After a quick workshop, students can now share a google slide with another student and the teacher to collaborate on group projects/presentations. They learned some "tricks of the trade" to really help their presentations pop!
Thank you Mrs. Roper for helping your students continue to learn new ways to collaborate! Keep it up!
Mrs. Feld-Kindergarten
Mrs. Feld's kindergarten class takes advantage of the Maker Space room to create their Barnwell Bear Crests.
There are many resources and supplies available in the Maker Space room located in room 28. What is a Maker Space you ask? Take a quick look by watching this video!
