What is Technology?

---

I am so excited to be on board leading DEL for our Upper El and Middle School students! Yesterday was our first day together, and we started at the beginning with a discussion and visualization of 'What is Technology?' I caught up on what the kids are already working on, and listened to their ideas and wish list for what they'd like to learn between now and the end of the year. Stay tuned for great things!

Happy Holidays!

Today we arrived to Perseus & Orion rooms with gifts for teachers & LOTS of treats for the kids! Rebecca made homemade hot chocolate as well as cinnamon buns & cookies.  Michele provided her famous pizza bagels, and we handed out cards & homemade irish cream to the teachers. The kids LOVED being in pjs for the day (the teachers didn't mind either!). We are so thankful to have an amazing team of educators in Upper Elementary!
