We need your help!

We are so excited to be finished with quarterly assessments. We are sorry for not blogging the past couple of days but we have been very busy. One of the most exciting things happening in our classroom this week was when we got a brand new active board. Mrs. Ziegler had to move all kinds of things around to make everything fit so it almost feels like we have a brand new classroom. However in order to put our active board to use we will need a portable external hard drive to hold all of the many applications that will meet our learning objectives. We have found one on-line that is listed for approximately $100.00 (depending on where you do your shopping). It is called a Seagate Free Agent Go and has 500 GB. We are hoping that with the help of parent contributions that we will be able to make this purchase very soon. Hope you have a great three day weekend!
