Elf STEM
Our final STEM activities of 2014 are quickly approaching. Instead of targeting just one day this time, we are all going to try and fit a STEM activity into the last week before break. I will be sending out lesson ideas for Elf STEM early next week, but be thinking about setting aside a time for them as you plan out the rest of the year!
An Hour of Code is Here!
Kindergarten teachers, I am working on matching you up with older kids and will get that information to you asap. First grade teachers, if you decide to participate, please let me know and let me know what I can do to help!
Here is the schedule for grades 2-5 on Monday:
· Katherine Wakefield - Chicks that Code representative
o 8:15 – 9:15 – Andrews & Hutchins (in room 28)
o 9:20 – 10:20 – 3rd grade & Wade (in Media Center)
o 10:25 – 11:25 – Peak & McCraw (in McCraw’s room)
· Jeff Boeh - Iron Yard representative

You will find the link for code.org below. As always, let me know how I can help with this!
Digital Citizenship - Last Call!
Just in case you forgot, the new lessons I recommended for November dealt with giving out personal information online. We know that kids will likely be getting new devices over the holidays, and we want to be sure they are safe. For grades K-2, try out Keep it Private, and for grades 3-5 try Private & Personal Information.
And one more time, just in case you are behind, here are the other lessons I have suggested this year. K-2: for August, Going Places Safely or Staying Safe Online; for September, My Creative Work; and for October, ABC Searching or Using Keywords. 3-5: for August, Rings of Responsibility or Talking Safe Online; for September, Whose Is It, Anyway; and for October, The Key to Keywords.
