HAPPY NEW YEAR to the entire Cantiague Family! I hope you all had a wonderful break and that everyone enjoyed the three-day weekend thanks to our snow day on Friday. Although I have enjoyed the down time (especially since I have had so much work for Penn), I am ready to get back into the swing of things - I miss being in your classrooms and spending time with the kids!
Please note that this week's update will be a quick and short one without all the bells and whistles because we only had one day of school last week (I don't really have much to write). So, this will get us through the next few days!
First off, in case you didn't see it on Twitter, here is a new video featuring our kids (near the end) where kids from New Jersey, Minnesota and Cantiague share what they hope to see in schools in 2014 - their vision for schools. Check it out - it is really cute...
Tech Tip of the Week...
If you have not downloaded Toontastic on your classroom iPads yes, you must do so ASAP!! It is a wonderful story telling app that lets students record their own voices telling a story using the pre-loaded characters that are available through the app. It helps teach kids about story arc, story elements and mood just to name a few. Paul LOVES it!

Logan is obsessed with toontastic also...although the thinks all the stories he tells have to be about a rainstorm bc of the icons on the story arc. Very cute! We also used it in the classroom last year for nonfiction writing and the students loved it!
