LAST DAY!

OBJECTIVE:  Provide feedback about this class through a survey in QUIA.

DO NOW: Please be very honest in the survey this was a tough year for me.  I would have liked to teach more Technology and less TAKS.  My heart went out to all of you praying you all passed TAKS.  I could not teach TECH, knowing I could use my time to help you be successful in Math or Social Studies.  I only wish I would not have lost that time with you all teaching technology.  Using my TECH time monitoring NWEA, and all of the leadership responsibilities that took me away from really doing what enjoy enjoy most, teaching you. :0)


Thank you for being such rockstars!  I love you all and cannot wait until next year.
Have a fabulous summer.
