Happy New Year!

Happy 2012, everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday break with your families!  Today several students have shared how they emailed out our video Christmas card to friends and families! I am so glad!  I must admit that I watched it many times myself over the holidays!  I will always cherish that video!

Please let me know if your DVD that I gave you for Christmas has any problems.  I want to be sure everyone has the slideshows, movies, and bloopers to keep forever! :)

To start our new year, 4th graders will be working diligently each class to continue their progress on their technology projects!  We have a good start and will work on these in class.  We have students creating their own webpages, printed brochures, videos, podcasts, and keynote presentations.  We'll share these projects later in the spring.

Third grade students will continue to be our "tech team in training" learning all about our MacBooks and applications.  Be sure to ask your child about the "fortune cookie" wisdom they wrote about before Christmas.

I am looking forward to a great 2012 with GATE students!  Happy New Year!
