Today (August 20th) some staff member start back in the classroom. For some, they do not start until after Labor Day. Regardless where you fit in that time frame...WELCOME BACK. Let's make this the best year for our students yet!!! I am very excited for the new year because I have a lot of new ideas, tools, and resources to share in our classrooms. Please call upon me for help and either myself or Melinda Oatman or Hillary Holler will assist you. My first monthly contest give-away is here. Check out the right hand side of this blog for more information. Voting will occur on September 13th and winner announce on the 14th. Good luck!!!

I am excited to share that Lyn Carvell has been selected as our December Winner for a Coding game from OSMO. Lyn is an Occupational Therapist here at the IU13. She shared that during the first week of December, she participated in the global Hour Of Code by incorporating coding tasks in her OT sessions. Since some of her students on her caseload cannot participate in Music Education she felt using OSMO Coding Jam can incorporate that Music component as well. Enjoy and Happy Coding!!
