#CelebrateNCE - There are so many great things happening daily at NCE...Students engaged in learning, staff members supporting each other, the list could go on and on. Have you tweeted and used #CelebrateNCE? We will take all the names of those that have tweeted this month to enter into a drawing for instructional funds. Can you be the first to tweet? We will draw a name at the end of each month for instructional funds for your classroom. How many tweets can we get during these 12.5 days?
Virtual Reality Kits
We are so lucky to have 20 VR kits in our media center! Mandy has added the list of available Virtual Reality Google Expeditions onto the NCE website's staff page under the "Technology Resources" section. You can access this list to see what VR expeditions we have that correlate with your standards and could be included in your planning. The kids absolutely love VR kits! There are 20 headsets. You should ask Mrs. Crankshaw a few days in advance to ensure they are charged and ready to go before you want to use it.
