Canvas Learning Opportunities
Mrs. Cintron's Videos - videos are in the Park Crest 20-21 Drive in the Canvas Resources folder
Shared from Ms. Lawrence - youtube link with lots of different videos.
Here is the link to the GISD Digital Learning Team...they have LOTS of information on all things digital in GISD - bookmark it! They also have checklists for things 'to do' in Canvas..day 1, 2, 3, etc...
Here is a quick graphic showing the difference between Google Classroom and Canvas...we will be using Google Classroom and SeeSaw but they will be 'housed' inside of canvas.
If you find other great resources you've used to create your classroom please share them with me! The Hoonit Video that's within the Flex Day information was great for setting up things you'll need within your classroom. I urge you to watch and do...
Classroom Rugs/Couches/Furniture
This next two weeks if you have furniture you need (bookshelves, round tables, kidney tables, etc) please let me know. If you have furniture in your room you do not want please place it in the hallway and our AMAZING custodians will move it to the storage room.
Park Crest Smore Landing Page
Here is the link to where I will attach all of the Smores for the year. I'm also attaching the parent newsletters here too so you are able to reference what I've sent to them. Click on the link and save it to your favorites, that way you can refer back without having to keep all of my emails. :)
