So many great things have happened in the last couple of weeks! Enjoy the updates below!
On the Friday before we got out for Thanksgiving break, Mrs. Adams and I decorated the Central Office Christmas tree with many beautiful ornaments our sweet kiddos made. They all did such a great job!
Click the link below to check out some footage from our Mystery Skypes. During a Mystery Skype students ask yes/no questions to determine where the other class is located. We use all kinds of resources to help us locate them. Mystery Skypes are an engaging way to familiarize students with World Geography. They have a great time connecting with classes all around the world. Ask your student which states they have Mystery Skyped with. :)

Our classes have also gotten the opportunity to Skype with professionals from Microsoft. Yesterday, 5th grade Skyped with Bryan Saftler a creative technology for Microsoft out Seattle, Washington. He is such a neat guy! He shared with us so many great aspects of his job. He talked about Xbox, Bing, Google and all types of technology our students use everyday. He also took feedback from our students about problems they have experienced with Mircrosoft products. He said he would make sure to let his team know! After our Skype, we discussed facts about Albertville. We told him that Albertville was the fire hydrant capitol of the world and that many fire hydrants are made right here in our city. Well, he proved us right, he took a picture of a fire hydrant right outside his office building.
And guess what?!..It said Albertville on it! We were amazed!
