Odds and Ends:
*Open House: We will have our Spring Open House on Thurs. 4/19 at 6:30-8:00. We look forward to you stopping into our classroom to see what we have been up to! The theme for 3rd grade open house in Chicago, so if you have any favorite Chicago sports gear, you can wear it to show your support!
During open house, you will have the opportunity to view the children's biography report videos. With the help of Mrs. Csorba (our IMC teacher) and Mrs. Foellmer (our tech support teacher), we video taped each student and made a QR (Quick Reponse) code for each video. The videos are uploaded to the internet using google docs and not accessible to anyone without the QR code. To use the QR code, you need a smart device, like a smart phone or ipad. You can download a free QR reader prior to open house so you can click the special bar code and watch the video. Isn't technology cool?!?!
