We hope that each of you had a very special break and we are glad to see you once again.

Something NEW to check It OUT!
Wordle is a toy for generating “word clouds” from text that you provide. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text. This is great for the introduction visual.
You can use this site to give your students a writing prompt or to introduce your unit. This site would also be great for brainstorming with your students.

Thanks for all you do for our students!

Good Morning!

We are glad you could join us here at Kirksville this morning.
We would like to know if you happen to have used anything from the last meeting with your students.......please share with us. Did it go well? Would you do something different?

Did you happen to use or do anything differently then we spoke about?

Thank you do all you do for the kids of Madison County.
