TECH TIP OF THE WEEK
To utilize the template you will need to make a copy of the Google Sheets spreadsheet template. This spreadsheet will be the spreadsheet that collects student responses but has some added features over the traditional spreadsheet created from Google Forms.
Words of Wisdom
What greater thing is there for human souls than to feel that they are joined for life — to be with each other in silent unspeakable memories.
~ George Eliot
Have you ever used an expression that a departed grandparent or favorite uncle would say at gatherings? Or have you thought back on family stories that make you burst out laughing — or crying, at the memory of them? Every time you recollect those memories you are reconnecting with those that came before you. They live inside us through silent memories that emerge from time to time in conversation or quiet moments alone. As educators, we are making memories for our students. What greater thing is there but to live on in the hearts of future generations.
With something to think about . . .
Remember to take care of yourself.
What would your ancestors say about you? Choose your words with love and be the memory maker future generations quote at family gatherings.
Happy Birthday!
