Thing 12

WOW!! Google has done it again. I swear I learn something new everyday and boy I did today, actually more than one. I now have a Google calendar. Anyone that knows me will know I have a calendar in my purse, one at home, school, and one on the refrigerator. I have THEM everywhere. Now I have one place to go the computer to know exactly when something is going to happen or what time I need to be somewhere. I love this new calendar. Now hopefully I will stick with it and only use this one. I love how you can send messages to your phone about your calendar. It was super easy to set up and navigate through. I also got a Google notebook. I'm always searching for new and different things to help teach my students. Now it is in one easy place in my notebook. We have a feast in November to celebrate Thanksgiving. The week before each classes switches classroom for about 30 minutes a day. When a new class comes in I teach them a food to serve at the feast which we will create together and something to take with to the feast for example a place mat or napkin that they have designed. I always find creative things on the Internet print them out and then of course lose them. Now I have one place to store all of my fabulous findings. This is two great new tools I will use daily.
