Important Reminders

Field Day and Kick Off - Grade Level Songs
We are gearing up for another fun-filled field day in May. . .yes, trying to be a little ahead of the game, since I will be back and forth from Admin to TCE even more starting this month. Our theme this year is a pirate theme, so be thinking of a fun song (doesn't have to be pirate) to kick off our field day! Remember this is just a short little dance/song your kiddos can do to get pumped up about the day! More info to come on field day, but wanted to get this out there!

Cultural Plunges

"Create Your Own Recordings

with Screencast-O-Matic"

For sharing out our cultural plunges this year, we are going to move to trying an online sharing by using screencasts and then integrate a Twitter chat as well to discuss, collaborate, ask questions and share insight. This will also allow us to cancel our face to face meetings for TLC on Wed. April 18th and Wed. May 9th.

Click above or here for video!

Please watch the video below if you have never made a screencast before. You (your group) will be using this tool (Screencast-O-Matic or another screencasting tool) to capture and share out your cultural plunge presentation so it can then be watched online. We will be storing these video recordings in a Cultural Plunge Folder within our TCE Schoology Course. Due Date: Monday, April 30th to have everything uploaded into Schoology!

So, if you haven't done your cultural plunge yet, please get that going, so you will be ready for these next steps!
