April 4 - April 8

With spring break just finishing up we were able to come back to Park View with Google Expeditions.  Monday was spent exploring various places in the world through virtual reality.  Teachers were able to take their students on Expeditions to a variety of places by guiding them with a tablet.  It was a fun day and the students had a great time.  There were a lot of "wow's" and "oh my's" throughout the day.  We are very grateful that we had the opportunity to test drive the Google Expeditions and we look forward to the future of this new tool.

Mrs. Turk's class was in to check out independent novels later in the week.  It's always fun helping students find a book that interests them.  It's was also wonderful to see the students talking about books they loved with their fellow classmates, guiding them in some of their decision making.

On Thursday, we began Forward testing and finished up the week with testing.  So far, Mrs. Horne's students have completed their first Language Arts session.  Eighth graders will start their testing next week.
