The Howler
Harrington Elementary - March 2nd, 2017
Please watch the video below so you can see how our wonderful kindergarten teacher Mrs. Preston put a video together to demonstrate one of the ways students are learning with the iPad in their classroom!
"Thanks so much for the iPads in the classroom! Our class worked hard on our book and it took only about 20 minutes for me to get it all into a movie format using iMovie on the iPad! Thanks again" -Mrs. Preston
Open House: TONIGHT! Thur. March 2nd
Families are welcome to visit their child's classroom from 6-7PM tonight. It is "come & go" during that time. Students are so excited to share what they have been working on in school. We hope to see you there!
