Media/Tech Updates - Week of 3/1

 #ReadAcrossUnderwood

#ReadAcrossUnderwood is March 1 - 5!  Here are some easy ways to celebrate reading  - http://bit.ly/readacrossunderwood  This would be a great week to schedule Andrea or Elizabeth for a class read-a-loud or an introduction to checking out library books or eBooks. 

Specialists will be doing live Bedtime Stories March 1 - 4 at 7:00pm. Please share this information with your students and families - http://bit.ly/ugtmbedtimestory

Reminders

• If a student comes to school without a device (they've left their's at home), please email Andrea ASAP in the morning. Devices will be distributed between 10:30 - 11:30am.  **Device can possibly be distributed in time for 3-5 elective if we know early enough. 
• If you take a book from the library, it must be checked out. You can text Andrea or Elizabeth the WCPSS barcode if we're not available to check out.  We're finding that there are MANY books missing from the shelves, and they happen to be ones used in our curriculum. Thanks for your help.

FEEDBACK NEEDED: Destiny Collections

Have you checked out our Destiny Collections? These are customized resource collections available to staff and students. To access, go to Follett/Destiny (Rapid Identity), then scroll down on the Destiny Discover page to Collections.

Smart TV's

We have 2 large brand-new Smart TV's, similar to the one we use in the media center, that can be used in classrooms (in place of Smartboards.) Ms. Weed and Ms. Koh are using one in their rooms if you have any questions about pros/cons. If you would like to try one of these TV's, let Andrea know.
