Great Expectations!

On Wednesday the 5th grade teachers will be working hard and digging deeper into math. It is expected that you will be careful with your iPad and use it responsibly. Be smart.

When your substitute teacher asks you to Flip your iPad or store it in a specific location, please cooperate. If you are given the opportunity to use the iPad for learning, use it for it's intended purpose. Keep track of your iPad and show what you know about responsible iPad use. 

There is so much learning we can do. Misuse of your device gets in the way and it takes time we could be using to create! 

All 5th grade students should expect to go out on the playground during lunch tomorrow. Have some fun!
