Permission forms were sent home on Monday and are due back to school by Friday, March 11th . We are also looking for 6 chaperones per classroom to attend the field trip. Please return the form that was sent home with your child ASAP if you are interested in attending and if you have a current background check on file, as well as watched the anti-bullying webinar. We are looking forward to a memorable experience!
Digital Learning Day!
Digital Learning Day was Wednesday, February 17th which is what HSE21 is ALL about. It's not about the iPads, but using them as tools to enhance and amplify our students' learning! We had so much fun while using our devices! We checked out some new apps. ChatterPix and Padlet were a few of their favorite! We also did some coding, practiced our word work (spelling words) on the IPADS and even wrote some stories all while using our devices!!! SO MUCH FUN!!!
