For the past several weeks, I have been analyzing writing and technology standards with the help of our Elementary Instructional Coach, Mrs. Druvenga, First Grade Model Teacher, Mrs. Sperfslage; and our Kindergarten Model Teacher, Mr. Weber. In an attempt to recognize the best iPad Apps that help our students become better writers, we will first determine which Apps we are currently using and how they fit within the writing curriculum. We will be adding new Apps to our list as needed to build skills within the writing process. With the help of our Media Specialists, Mrs. Sperfslage, and Mrs. Loughren, we will design a plan to teach students the skills within the technology standards in Media class so these skills can be transferred into the classroom during writing time! We are excited to begin this collaboration as the students will see the connections between the writing and technology skill building activities. Our intention is to also extend the incorporation of Media class to Apps within the science classroom as well! Exciting things happening at Parkside and Little Husky Learning Center!
New teacher training week! This can only mean one thing... summer is coming to a close and it is time for us educators of OCSD to get back to our passion! This is an incredibly exciting time for myself and family as we have recently moved and am getting settled into my new office; lots of great changes! I am looking forward to getting into the groove, meeting new faces, and being apart of the team of OCSD! I am convinced, without a doubt, this is going to be an amazing school year!
