Christmas websites and interactives: http://portablenorthpole.tv/home - I love this site!

It allows you to create a video sent to anyone you choose and it asks you very specific questions about the person you are sending it to. My kids were amazed that Santa had really sent them a video and knew a lot about them.

I hope that all of you have a great holiday season! I have really enjoyed my time at Jefferson and look forward to the rest of the year. I have a favor to ask of you. I would like you to think about two things. They are technology and a new year’s resolution. On the next page I have put a paper that I would like for you to print out. Before Christmas, I would like to receive a specific goal that you would like to accomplish in the new year. Please think about how this goal will impact student learning. I don’t normally give homework, but this is not only for you, it is also for me. It will help me better understand your needs as far as technology. I would like for everyone to send one of these papers back to me. Just print it out, write your goal, and put it in my box. Merry Christmas!
