TOSA Corner: This week I have a few fun ideas for you that you may want to check out. First, in case you haven’t discovered it yet, there is a math app site that has everything from number lines, fractions,  geoboards, clocks, and even money just to name a few. Take a few minutes to explore and see if there is anything that could enhance your math lessons. 
Second, I just discovered this website through my TOSA PLC. It’s called Classroom Screen. I signed up for the free rather than the paid version. It has beautiful backgrounds to use plus quick little things that we use daily, for example, timers, dice, work symbols, and even a stopwatch. No more searching for those when you need it quickly.


March 21st PD Agenda: We will be meeting in The Barn @ 8:30.

  • 8:30 - 9:15 Pancake Breakfast Provided by Josh and Richard
  • 9:15 - 10:00 Presentation

*Field Trips: Remember that there's a process to field trips. There is a field trip packet that Crystal can help you with. Your volunteers MUST be approved and Category II with a clear COVID test within 72 hours or a show their vaccine card.
