Ladybugs spotted at Whitehead

Our wonderful teachers returned to Whitehead today, to an infestation of ladybugs. Ladybug cupcakes, ladybug puppets, and ladybug erasers. The most important ladybugs were 13 brand new "Ladibug" document cameras that come to our classrooms thanks to a grant provided to our school from The EL Cord Foundation. 

These new technology teaching tools will connect to the computer and the LCD projector and allow teachers and students to project books or iPad images up on the big screen to just name one of the many uses. These visual supports will help to increase student engagement during instruction . So look for the "Ladibug" in your child's classroom and ask him/her how they are using it to learn.

Today's meeting gave our teachers and staff members a chance to develop PBIS school wide expectations, and begin to discuss how to best integrate technology into teaching and learning.
