Flash Update: September 1, 2017

Orientation

For those of you who made it, thank you for coming out. For those who didn't, please don't worry. I am attaching the powerpoint in an email to you. Please read over it and let me know if you have any questions after reading. 

Technology Updates

I will share some of the sites as I introduce them to the children. I don't want you to become frustrated because they have no clue as to what you may be talking about.


Class Dojo: You can see your child's behavior daily and can communicate with me, if your email is down. You can also see the Growth Mindset videos:
https://www.classdojo.com/


Google Classroom: You can see assignments that I post as well as use it to review notes. There is a class for each subject so that it does not become overwhelming to the kids. They can show it to you, We have only worked in the ELA classroom so far.

As I add more technology sites into their repertoire, I will add them to the blog. Remember to type your email address in the "Follow by Email" and click submit. This way, everytime I add something to our blog, you will get an email letting you know I have added a post.
