Plans? Did I have plans?

Nothing exciting to report. Have spent 30 days (who's counting? ME!) getting the students organized to work together and work independently. New kids in the mix and everything is new. We're getting there, though.

I didn't even get my back-to -school-night-learning-goals movie done. And, I still have one student to record, and 4 to photograph. I am pleased with their ideas and artwork. It will be better than last year's movie, just taking a lot longer.

The Chamber of Commerce and the parents who came to Back to School got introduced to the ABC idea. No ideas have come in from them yet. The kids have explored ABC books, so that part makes sense to them.

I am doing the digital story telling series--does that excuse my lack of tech progress with my students? I thought not.

Last week I got internet in the classroom, and I have a document camera that works! That was exciting. Still lacking a functional printer, email, and camera.
