    Marcia Gross' third grade at Arlington created Planet Power Points which provide information about each planet.  Some of their research used online resources as well.  

     Raeanna Fields, Phyllis Peterson and Harriet Dalcin, third grade teachers at Johnson have been implementing their Weather PET project during April.  Take a look at the Cloud Power Point they are using for students to identify clouds.  

NEWSFLASH

%100 Guarantee!!!

Teachers at Arlington, Johnson, Mary Todd and Linlee.  Do you need to catch up on some work?  Ask me for an idea for integrating technology into your unit or lesson.  If I cannot come up with an idea backed by a core content, I'll teach all of your classes for one day.  (Sorry, this is not a substitute for a leave day, but you would be able to work on other things in your room.).  Send your unit/lesson and grade level to me @ jbucking@fayette.k12.ky.us.  

I will still teach a lesson for you if you like anyway..
