Smart Board is a fabulous learning tool!
SmartBoards are a great learning tool!!. We are using this technology tool in each classroom to engage students. We are excited about continuous training to become proficient users! Ms. Domeier and I took a 30 hour class last spring to help us incorporate more SmartBoard lessons into the curriculum.
Our fabulous PTA helped us purchase an ELMO for every classroom! They are a valuable learning tool to share read alouds, math white board activities, writing lessons, science and social studies interactive lessons. We continually come up with new ways to have our students use technology proficiently.
Our newest Science Curriculum has an interesting interactive piece for teachers, parents and students. Students will have the ability to log in at home to review previous lessons, read science books or play games at NGconnect. Each child will have their own log in information.
Our LCD projectors tie all this technology together so at the flip of a switch we can use any piece of our technology with whole group, small group activities or independent activities.

Dear Parent or Guardian:
Students are using a computer software program called Renaissance Place (AR/RP) at school. This program has a special feature called Renaissance Home Connect. Renaissance Home Connect is a fun, easy-to-use, easy-to-understand web-based interface that allows the student, you and the teacher to share in the educational experience by viewing progress in certain Renaissance Place programs while outside of school.
*Students may look back into the books they have read while taking the computerized quizzes and tests at school. That same reference skill is used in other test-taking settings.
*Quizzes may be taken only in the classrooms or in the media center.
*Scores earned on quizzes do not translate into report card grades. Renaissance Place is a media tool for motivating independent reading and the lifetime love of reading.
You can view Renaissance Home Connect from any computer with an Internet connection using

• Internet Explorer® 6.02 or later
