Lansdowne teachers are celebrating the
acquisition of Kidspiration programs for every workstation in the lab.
We’re having a lot of fun exploring all the possibilities with this
program.
Rosa Parks’s students can’t wait to
get the results of their latest UltraKey test. Lori Rutherford tracks student
progress on a bulletin board outside the lab.

FCPS account. The KDE e-mail address
is also mine, but is really for the KDE Professional Development I am teaching.
