Storybird.com
Miss. Czaja and Mr. Giles' classes worked together to make this awesome book for our collaborative Global Learner project. Each of the classes chose 13 letters of the alphabet and found graphics that match each letter. Then, the classes shared their part of the story with the other class to help them edit each other's book. The online book features awesome graphics that were found on the Storybird website. Storybird is a free website for parents, teachers and artists. All you have to do is find a theme that you want to use and create text for each page! It's as simple as that!

We Got Clickers!!!
The SMART Response LE interactive response system helps you deliver assessments and record student results. Wow! It has been amazing to watch my kids effortlessly learn how to use the clickers. I explicitly told them how to treat the clickers and everyone has been respectful of their clickers. Also, assessing my students has never been easier! I have taken assessments from Storytown and converted them into a Smart Notebook file and have been giving pre and post assessments for each of the themes. We absolutely love our clickers!
