A note from Kimberly
Just as a reminder, our official jeans day will be on Fridays with spirit shirts. We will continue to wear college shirts on Wednesday incorporated with professional dress.
Thank you for being at your doors in between classes actively monitoring students, greeting them, joking around, and loving on them.
Hope everyone has a great LONG weekend. I know for myself, I have very little planned and sometimes that makes for the best weekend.
Enjoy,
Kimberly :)

I know most of you are familiar with SAMR. I have included the picture below. Spend some time this week reflecting on your technology integration goals for the year, using technology in your lesson plans, and how they fit into the SAMR model.
