Media Weekly

If you are experiencing issues with HDMI / touch connectivity between your new laptop and ClearTouch, please place a work order or let us know ASAP. Latrel is working diligently to resolve these issues.

Thanks for your patience while we worked to get these devices out. Please let us know if you have any other questions or issues.

Are you working on reading stamina with your class? Introducing new genres? Asking students to track their independent reading? Let us help with Beanstack!

Beanstack is an app that encourages free choice and student autonomy in reading, while giving teachers all kinds of information about their students as readers. It has the potential to create an even stronger reading community in your classroom, our school, and our city.

We want to show you how it works! If there's a good time for you or your team, email Erika or Katie. We'll give you a tour and get you set up. Once you're comfortable with Beanstack, we can work with you to introduce it to your class!

There are many vetted articles / resources available in the Digital Library via Classlink:

BrainPOP - "U.S. Constitution"

PebbleGO - "Constitution Day"

PebbleGO Next - "U.S. Constitution"

Discovery Education - "Constitution Day" (there are many resources within Discovery Ed)

Check them out if you're needing something!

If you'd like to celebrate Dot Day, Monday the 16th might be a great day to do so. Follow the link below to another smore :) for ideas!
