Day one

The first day of school is always an exciting one. Today we worked on making sure each student had a working edutech e-mail address and went to the library to select books. On Friday, as with everyday, we will start class by free reading. Each student must read one book per month and at the the end of the month complete a one-pager (from Readicide). We are also going to start working with edmodo and completing an embedded student survey. Lots of tech early, but it kind of lays the ground work for what tools we will be using this year.

Ready, Set....Should Be Ready in a Week

I was excited to get some work done in room 36 today, but I have now learned it won't be ready for another week. I guess they still need to remove supplies and clean. They used it as the supply room. That gives me just a couple of days before the students come to get ready. Yikes! It is going to be very busy next week.
