How special it is to work in a division rooted in cultural pride, shared stories, and community love. We were honored to welcome a former Charles City Elementary and High School student. What a powerful reminder of the pride, legacy, and culture our students carry with them.

Tried that action figure package image on ChatGPT! I think I'm going to use this as my opening for our new teacher training at the start of next School year. Have all the new teachers introduce themselves using their action figure.
I replaced the action figure with a muppet prompt!

I don't speak up a whole lot about my political views online, but regardless of what your political views are, education is being impacted aggressively, in all the wrong ways!
Read the following article, and educate yourself on the impact:

Today, I worked with our 4th graders to make their way through a maze using their Dashbots. This is only their second time in Blockly, and they are just learning metric measurements. They had so much fun and had no clue they were learning. Metric measurements with estimation, and angles.

Thank you!
Interactive regions of Virginia poster viewed by students. When you touch one of the regions with the movie immediate reads aloud information regarding that region.
This is more complicated switch made for the use of a remote control for students. The glove is an actual hand switch made for students can simply touch their fingers together to make it go left right up or down.
Amazing use of Makey Makey again, for Assistive Technology with the use of the switch, or creating an interactive poster of the regions of virginia.

This is an adaptive book made with the Makey Makey. When you place the switch on the picture it reads it out loud to them.
Picture of the adaptive book with the switch on top of the image showing how it reads aloud to the student with the use of makey makey.
Super cool adaptive book for Assistive Technology using Makey Makey! When you place the blue switch onto the image, it reads it aloud to the student. Great for low mobility, reading skills, or engaging students that need more visual and tactile stimulation.
