Great Start to the School Year!

Believe it or not, we are already starting the second week of the 2nd six weeks! Time flies!

We have gotten off to a great start this year with many teachers already using Google docs. In 6th grade, Mrs. Schwartz' reading class researched great Olympians from the past, writing about them in Google docs. Mrs. Burns' students started "My Personal Goals", a writing project in Google docs that will be revisited at the end of the year when students will evaluate their achievements. In 7th grade, Mrs. Harsey completed her first Google docs project as students crafted their first essays of the year and shared them for editing.

In other tech news, Mr. Carpenter introduced his 7th grade math students to WolframAlpha, opening up a world of after-school help for his students. In 8th grade, Mr. Rowley's students used PowerPoint to create timelines on the history of the atomic model.

Thank you to these great teachers for getting our year in technology off to a great start!!
