What's happening...
- The "Perfect Square" activity is underway. Ms. Burlison's students did an awesome job creating rivers, cats, castles, airports, and more.
- Ms. Hickcox started Mystery Zoom prep this week. Next week I'll be in each third grade class to get them started as well.
- Kindergarten is starting our building scavenger hunts. Ms. McIntyre's class completed it today and Ms. Shafer and Ms. Burton's students will take it on next week. Kindergarten always loves their scavenger hunts and breakouts!
- Next week we'll start our football catapults with Ms. Kunkel's fourth grade.
Book a Day
I'm getting quite a few Book a Day submissions. Thanks for showing your students how to submit their books. I can only post one book per day, so have patience (looking at you, Maude). Email me names of students who will get a boost from seeing their name on the board.

Wifi
I have a few work orders open asking for investigations into what I think are wifi issues. These deal specifically with Seesaw and the Studies Weekly. I intend to continue to submit those until it's figured out. To be prepared, it's helpful if you can record students and times that you are seeing issues so I can add them to the work order. That's the first thing they ask for.

Extended absences
At this time, students who you know will be out for an extended time should not be taking home iPads. If the family requests work, it should be sent in paper form.

iPad Care
Couple of things to try to stay on top of...
- Check to make sure devices are up to date. The current version is 15.6.1. Check for updates in Settings>General>Software Updates
- Please teach your kids how to remove their headphones and charging cable. We're starting to see broken plugs.
- Their name labels need to stay on. And remember, no additional stickers.
Vertical Share Time
Come by the media center Tuesday after school for an informal technology integration share time. I'd love for you to share snippets of what you are doing so others can get ideas. At this point in the year, it'd be great to share how you are using Seesaw (when it uploads) with your students. I believe Seesaw is an excellent tool to bridge the gap between school and home.

Ms. Brinlee has been working with a small group of fifth graders called the Green Team. They are working on restarting our lunch composting program. Next week, they will be meeting with fifth grades to introduce the system. The following week, fifth grade will begin composting at lunch. We'll bring on additional grades as the efficiency improves. Today we rescued several spools from the nature playground to convert into composting bins. Should be a fun project.
Have a great two day weekend!
