Tomorrow is the night! Our 1st graders, along with 2nd and 3rd grade, have been working extremely hard to prepare for the QE musical. It will take place tomorrow, March 16th at the Quakertown High School. Students should arrive by 6:15PM and meet me in the front row to sit with our class. All guests can find a place in the auditorium to watch the show, beginning at 6:30PM. Please remember to have your child wear their emoji t-shirt and jeans. Here's in a sneak peek from our dress rehearsal:
I'm very excited to announce that we will be using a new app in the classroom called Seesaw. Seesaw is a digital portfolio where you will be able to see the activities and learning that your child is engaging in in the classroom. This app will be almost entirely controlled by the 1st graders. They will be taking videos, uploading pictures, recording voice threads, etc. These artifacts will then be uploaded via Seesaw, and you as the parent will be able to view them on the Seesaw app or online via their website. View the video below to see how it works!
Another neat feature of the app is that you may interact with your child by 'liking' their work or commenting. I will also use the app for communication to share announcements, student work, and pictures.
Today your child will be coming home with a paper listing directions on how to login to the parent portion of your child's account. (You will use the QR code to gain access to your child's specific portfolio.) You may download the Seesaw Parent Access app in the app store to utilize the resource on any phone or tablet. If you prefer to use a computer you may also view the Seesaw website.
The children are EXTREMELY excited for you to see their first post from Friday!
