This is embarrassing!

This has been a very busy school year! I have spent many hours preparing for lessons and I have completely  avoided blogging.

As I reflect on my school year thus far, I feel a sense of accomplishment for what we have achieved.

• Doodle 4 Google contest
• Doodle 4 Google webinar
• Values video - based from the website values.com
• Compare & contrast videos
• We learned about Close Reading
• Bring Your Own Device - one day where we incorporated QR Code activities in our curriculum
• Loyalty Day posters  
• Friendship Festival
• Antarctica webinar - National Geographic
• Library poetry contest
• We recorded audio stories
• Gingerbread house
• Thanksgiving fifth grade rotations
• created a large turkey
• ate breakfast
• Thanksgiving writing / poem 
• Fall Festival
• Students created a Google Site portfolio that is a collection of their fifth grade year
• We made KidSnippets movies with our high school friends
• We recorded books for our K-1 friends
• My homeroom class has earned 594 blue ribbons in Study Island ELA PACCS

I anxiously await permission to roll out BYOD after state testing is over. My students are so excited about the endless possibilities that BYOD will offer us.
