Welcome
back! I'm looking forward to working with you this year. I
am in the process of handing out my schedule when I arrive at your
school. You may also check my schedule
page to see when I'll be visiting. |

Take lots of digital pictures throughout the year. You can
use them for sorting in centers, power points, and even a class
digital story about the school year. They make wonderful
writing prompts as well. Need help with how to use your
school's digital camera? Drop me an e-mail and I will be
happy to show you and/or your students. |
 Interested
in communicating with other schools in Lexington, with in the
State, US or even Internationally? Forums are a great
communication tool, easy to use and I will be more than happy to
set them up for you. I have several ideas for using them
within your own classroom. Kids of all ages love them and
e-communication is quickly becoming a life skill. |
