The new website has been redesigned to provide frequent updates for students, parents, and teachers regarding technology trends and the happenings of my classroom. I hope to create a more interactive, online learning community in the upcoming school year. ]]> 2019-04-08 15:52:26 UTC https://padlet.com/ehicks7/89rof81oi1zx/wish/349569332 ehicks7 https://padlet.com/ehicks7/89rof81oi1zx/wish/350036027 Very proud of Grade 3, taking their first MCAS today!

With me, each student will be given two days to put the final touches on any past assignment. This includes passing in the tech journal, working on the engineering packet, the adventure story, website project, etc... ]]> 2019-04-23 13:41:44 UTC https://padlet.com/ehicks7/89rof81oi1zx/wish/353355209 ehicks7 https://padlet.com/ehicks7/89rof81oi1zx/wish/360730561 Today is day one of the 5th grade Science and Technology MCAS. Wishing the best of luck to all the students taking it. Don't stress on any tough engineering questions, you got this! ]]> 2019-05-16 11:54:49 UTC https://padlet.com/ehicks7/89rof81oi1zx/wish/360730561 ehicks7 https://padlet.com/ehicks7/89rof81oi1zx/wish/362162257 MCAS is officially wrapping up here at Mitchell and we are approaching the final few weeks of school. Although we are not done yet, I wanted to take a minute to thank our wonderful staff and students for an awesome 2018-19 school year. Not only did it go by incredibly fast but I also feel that it was incredibly successful. 

To the students: I look forward to seeing you all next year and wish those moving to the Jr. Sr. High School good luck! I hope you all have a relaxing summer and enjoy the few extra days as we get out so early! Thank you again,

Google Classroom is ready to go and I am currently sorting through a bunch of old lesson plans. Summer has not even begun and here I am working to make sure everything is beyond ready for the fall. Looking forward to try out this new lesson on Algorithms and Coding! ]]> 2019-06-11 16:34:50 UTC https://padlet.com/ehicks7/89rof81oi1zx/wish/366988013 ehicks7 https://padlet.com/ehicks7/89rof81oi1zx/wish/375791050 First day back in the classroom.

Next week begins the long awaited engineering cycle. Students from all grades will be working with a team to plan and design a project to solve a problem created by yours truly. ]]> 2019-10-18 15:50:43 UTC https://padlet.com/ehicks7/89rof81oi1zx/wish/399607350 ehicks7 https://padlet.com/ehicks7/89rof81oi1zx/wish/404933039 Happy Halloween!
