On Fire with Chromebrooks

Second grade students now have their Chromebooks. Teacher Maureen Tecson wanted to see if the students would be able to understand after she taught them how to use it...and they did. They used their How-to-writing and created a slide show using Google Presentation. They learned how to change fonts, choose a theme, change background colors, and choose transitions. Then they emailed her their work. These students are only 7 years old. There is fun and learning. Awesome teacher. Awesome students.

Family Literacy Night

Alvarado PTC hosts students, family, and teachers enjoying an evening of reading in a variety of formats. Exciting to be also using the new Chromebooks bought with funds from the district's Race to the Top grant.
