Chromebooks are here!
The students just received brand new Touch Screen Chromebooks! Our iPads were not compatible with Amira, which is a program that complements our new Into Reading program. They were absolutely thrilled that it worked beautifully and with no complications. I received many "thumbs up" throughout our session. This program individualizes their reading and prioritizes what each student needs. It is highly interactive and engaging.
In writing the children have been working on writing Halloween poems with a partner. They have wonderful conversations on how they can make their poem funny and still make sense. They also made a huge poster for the administration, Jamen (our ESU tech director), and our school board to thank them for purchasing our Chromebooks.
