Attention Chrome Pilot Teachers!
Pilot teachers, there's a new app to try in Schoology! You are going to love engaging with the "assignments app". In the Chrome Pilot resources group, there are many resources for the teacher and student to support this new app. See images below on where to find the resources.
Try it out and let me know how it goes!
ELA News
At my last STAT meeting I received a new resource book that I am looking forward to sharing and exploring with you! The picture of the book is below. As we wrap up the end of the school year it may be a great idea to engage in some writing lessons. The book below contains mini lessons that would be great to use in the classroom. One of our intermediate TLC members should have received a book as well as Mrs. Richards. We should have three copies! Let me know if you are interested and lets encourage summer writing!
For K and 1st, Open Court has been approved for the next school year! More grades will be added in future years. K and 1st teachers will have summer workshops and August 28th PSD to receive more info on Open Court.
