In conjunction with Digital Learning Day, the Arkansas Department of Education invited schools to showcase ways they are teaching and learning in a digital environment. I submitted some of our student's work and you can see it by downloading the DLD2014 iTunes U course by clicking the button below.

Mindmeister lets you collaborate in real time. Part of what makes MindMeister such a powerful tool is that it's built and designed with a big focus on collaboration. This means that you not only have the ability to quickly develop your own ideas, you can also quickly share your maps to brainstorm and collaborate with as many others as needed, and all in real time.

On Monday the 27th, I should be sending home Accelerated Reading goals for the students. You'll need to sign the goal sheet and return it to school. Everyone who returns the goal sheet by the end of the week will receive five bonus points for reading. Encourage your child to read on a regular basis. Take some time from your schedule and listen to them read, and believe it or not most of them still enjoy being read to. Happy Reading!! Mrs. Miller
