Welcome Back to school this year we are ready to have a great, fun, exciting technological year! We have nine iPads in our classroom this year. This will provide a great new opportunity for our second graders to explore this year. If you want more up to date information on the daily happenings or pictures from our classroom please visit our informal blog at http://daynateach.posterous.com
We were missing some of our friends but most came back to play. We enjoyed our first day getting back into the swing of things…
