Texting with Activexpressions | BrainPOP Educators Today BrainPOP was visited by one of Promethean’s super-talented TLC’s, Ben Posner. Ben showed us Promethean’s new Activexpression devices and helped us brainstorm ways to use them with BrainPOP. Activexpressions are Student Response Systems, or SRS devices. If you’re not familiar with SRS devices, they allow teachers to get instant feedback on what each student knows or has to say. Newer SRS devices allow students to respond in a variety of ways; the Activexpression devices even allow students to text short answers with a mobile-phone like design. One topic we explored was how students could use SRS devices like Activexpression to write collaboratively. I don’t know about you, but I’m pretty excited that students can now put those texting skills to work for an educational purpose!

3rd - Mrs. Myers / Myers' Magnificents' gameplan and web activities Dear families, Can you believe we are in our last six weeks! Students and parents, thank you for your involvement in our class and your student's education. They are certainly worth our effort to work together! :) We've completed our Reading SOL testing! C.A.N. Since 3rd grade is considered upper elementary level, students have a homework folder that includes their homework packet for the week and their Word Study notebook each evening. I am implementing some whole brain teaching strategies this year, to help your student become more engaged in their education and teach one another what they are learning. As teachers, we will be focusing on teaching and learning to be visible. I am enjoying your children! We have a classroom pet named Rex (Rexie), who is a Mini Rex breed. Remember, Verona kids are respectful, responsible, and eager to always be learning! Sincerely, Mrs.

Tracing Back the ROOTS OF MY ROOTS: Richard I "the Fearless" and Gunnora Richard I, Duke of NormandyRichard I "the Fearless" or (French) "Sans Peur" Richard I of Normandy (933–996), also known as Richard the Fearless (French: Sans Peur), was the Duke of Normandy from 942 to 996. Dudo of Saint-Quentin, whom Richard commissioned to write his De moribus et actis primorum Normanniae ducum (Latin: On the Customs and Deeds of the First Dukes of Normandy), called him a dux, but this use of the word may have been in the context of Richard's leadership in war, and not a reference to a title of nobility.Richard either introduced feudalism into Normandy, or he greatly expanded it. By the end of his reign, most important landholders held their lands in feudal tenure. Birth Richard was born to William I of Normandy, princeps or ruler of Normandy, and Sprota. He was also the grandson of the famous Rollo. Life When his father died, Louis IV of France seized Normandy, installed the boy Richard in his father's office, then placed him in the care of the count of Ponthieu.
