Thank you to the Charlestown Staff for their support yesterday
I missed yesterday's storm, but heard many stories about how various staff members jumped in to lend support. It really takes a village and I'm so proud of our staff. They are always focussed on student safety and consider how they can do more to help each other.
Thanks as well to all the parents who demonstrated great patience as we dismissed your child and to the parents who provided some snacks to our staff who were staying later.

Technology use to Blended Learning
We are thrilled that nearly all classrooms have a smart board. We also use some laptops and iPads. This summer, all certified staff members will be issued laptops to aide their teaching and learning. Attending the NCTIES conference with Sharon Martin, the Principal at Richmond School, has helped me to learn about what more we can do with technology and what we would like to purchase next year as part of the technology budget. My favorite part of the conference was the student showcase. Students from all over NC were present to demonstrate their learning with technology. They were so poised and excited to share and inspire the adult attendees. I know that our students would be equally engaged and look forward to exploring and implementing new technology in a blended learning environment!
