On September 22, 2016 an owl was trapped under the playground shelter. It finally was able to free itself and being exhausted rested on the chain link fence. One of our 4th grade teachers, Ms. J. Williams, was able to get this snapshot of the bird. Many of the kids enjoyed this vision until it was gone.
Since we are near the Kenilworth park, with all its big trees and spaces we have been able to see some great birds. In the past we have seen Bald Eagles, Red Tailed Hawks and other birds of prey and many flocks of song birds.
The teachers are learning to blog! We already have several blogs published. Remember that a blog will change as time goes on. Just like mine does.
The teachers will learn how to add pictures, videos, links, slide shows, documents and all kinds of exciting things. They might even add homework assignments. Now I am sure that you will love that!
Sometimes in our lives we all have pain We all have sorrow But if we are wise We know that there's always tomorrow

Together, we will learn to be polite and safe on the Internet. We will remind ourselves that anything we put on the WWW (World Wide Web) will often be available to anyone . . . anywhere. We will learn that anything we put on the Internet will be a reflection of ourselves . . . is it kind? is it cruel? These are important lessons for us all. We will learn to respect ourselves and others at all times. In the Portaportal under the "Technology" headings I have links to Digital Citizenship games. Here is one we use often for 3rd - 5th grade: https://www.digitalpassport.org/educator-registration/studentLogin username = 1st initial and last name | Password = 1st and last initial and birthdate
