Thursday, March 8, 2012

On Thursday, March 8, we will be going to the Teacher Center Services (formerly referred to as the Teacher Resource Center. We will meet there at 1:15 PM. If you need a ride, I will be leaving campus at 1 PM.

Darlene at the Center is going to give us a demonstration of the new materials. She is also going to show us the Veriquest Cutout Maker (although most of you are already familiar with it) and the traveling kits. Your job will be to identify 3-4 kits that you can use for a lesson in the third grade classroom - integrated Social Studies, Science, Art, etc.

You are required to attend this field trip or you will be marked absent for the day.

Happy Spring Break!
