This week Mrs. Garrison & Mrs. Miller teamed up to do a writing, reading & technology project to celebrate the holiday.
They’re creating Halloween @buncee Stories after finding inspiration from lots of @capstonepub eBooks. They’ll be adding animations, sound effects & more. 🎃
Our kids at @vanmeterschools use @kodable to learn code programming conceits through engaging activities and games. This supports their interests and our #computerscience standards too.
