Chrome Books
The Chrome Books are getting lonely!
Increase your students' access to the web for research & personalized learning. Just a reminder that you can check out just a "set" or the entire cart. Sign up using this google form and specify the # and time the CBs will be used.
Remember, all Chrome Books need to be individually plugged into the cart and upon return, the cart needs to be plugged into the wall daily. There are some nuances with the Chrome Books. You use Guest Browser and must "activate" Light Speed in order to access web sites. There is a "cheat sheet" on the cart.

Superhero Friday Phone Calls Are BACK!
Check your box Monday to see if you are the next teacher who has been tapped to find a super hero. Use your x-ray vision to identify one student that has used their superpowers to grow. At recess on Friday, after you have bragged about them in front of their peers, send that student up so we can make a shout out phone call and take their picture!
** If you have a Superhero that just can't wait, let us know so we can recognize those growing powers!
