It's An Interactive Whiteboard

Matthew Bruder, Technology Administrator, is just one of the many players that helped to get our boards installed.

By now you've probably heard that both pre-k classrooms have recently been outfitted each with an interactive whiteboard.  While they do resemble "SMART`boards" they are not technically manufactured by SMART Technologies.   We are so excited to have this new technology in our classrooms.    Take a look.....

                              Calendar during circle time had become  much more animated.


It's not just circle time that has gotten a make-over.   The boards have  internet capabilities so we now are able to access many online resources in a format compatible with whole group activities.

Pre-K Visits the Fire Station

As part of the school's participation in National Fire Prevention Week,  the Orange Volunteer Fire Department again  graciously hosted the MLT students inside the fire station.  Students visited our next door neighbors and learned about what to do if there is a fire.

Don't be afraid of firefighters.

GET LOW AND GO!

We saw the trucks up close.

Everyone got their very own fire hat.

It was a great Fire Prevention Week!

Our First Mystery Readers

Mystery Readers are special guests who come to our classroom to read a story to the class.  All of our pre-k classes had their first "mystery readers" last week.  Mystery Readers can be anyone.

It could be a special family member.

Or it could be a familiar face from our community.

We are always looking for new mystery readers.  We appreciate the interest and are currently booking for November.    

Stay tuned for pictures from our visit to the firehouse.  

Getting ready for Fire Prevention Week and our firehouse visit!
