Layton Elementary - Jan. 27, 2020
An Incredible Journey
We are on an incredible path to learning and discovery. What a wonderful opportunity to have Casey Veatch, our Apple Guru, to spend three days immersed in our classroom learning and culture. Please take advantage of every minute of his expertise and ask him a thousand and one questions when you have his undivided attention for 2 1/2 hours! We are excited to see how this can expand our ability to increase literacy, numeracy, creativity, and engagement for your students. I will only get to see a piece of it. I'd like to request that at least one member of your team send pictures, as well as a short video to show what you have accomplished! This will be great evidence for our SiP. Thanks for joining the journey!
