Kahoot Updates
Are you a Kahooter?!? Last week, Kahoot released their BIGGEST collection of Kahoot games since its launch! Click HERE to find curriculum-aligned, ready-to-play, and engaging activities in ELA, Math, Science, and History!
I also suggest that you check out the Holiday Calendar Collection for festive and fun games to play with your students! They are adding a new Kahoot every day in December, and you can find great activities such as Physical Science: The Energy of Holiday Lights, Christmas in Literature for ELA, and other holiday-themed games.
NOTE: If you haven't worked with Kahoot yet, but you're ready to learn, check out the following embedded videos:

Teacher Web Presence
In March 2018, all campus websites will migrate from NetStart to School Messenger, the same system used by the KISD website that went into effect at the start of the year. As the district prepares this move, it is important that ALL classroom teachers of record have a web presence that contains accurate and up-to-date contact information with a link to Schoology. A web presence means a professional teacher web page on an online site such as NetStart, Word Press, Weebly or Google Sites (NetStart teacher web pages will be migrated over to School Messenger). Unfortunately, Schoology course pages will NOT suffice, as teachers must provide a web page that parents can launch Schoology from.
Website migration is slated to begin over the winter holiday so it is imperative that this task is completed before December 21. If you need assistance creating/editing your NetStart teacher web page or if you currently have a non-NetStart professional website, please contact me ASAP.
