May 2019
EOY y'all!
The last day to return all books for K-2nd will be May 10. 3-5th grade will turn in all of their books except for 1 that they may keep for the STAAR text.
The last day for grades 3-5th to check in their last book (1 book) will be May 16th - the day after STAAR testing.
Please remember to return all of your library passes. Also, please turn in any books with a barcode that are in your room. If you would like to keep a book over the summer, let me know and I will renew it for you.
If you have ANY questions, please do not hesitate to ask me.

Techy Tips
Google Tasks - cool way to create those "To Do" lists right in your Google Suite. It makes getting things done a lot more efficient. You can also see your list in Google Calendar after you turn it on. Click on the link for a full set of directions which are also visual, which I love.

Brush Ninja - This is a free web tool that doesn't require students to sign up for an account. Students can use it to create animated Gifs to demonstrate their knowledge of just about any topic you are covering. I made a quick, silly little one showing how to make a word plural. You could use this tool for students to show their problem solving in math, how energy transfer works in science, or basically anything. Check out this jewel, right here: https://brush.ninja/
