This week teachers began to take their students to the computer lab to take their spelling test. No paper or pencils were needed. Our students use an online course management system to login and take spelling tests individually at their on rate. Students are given the opportunity to listen to the word being read online by the teacher in isolation and in context as many times as is needed before entering the word on the short answer online quiz.
My how times have changed! We are educating 21st Century Learners at White Oak Elementary.

My child is in the 3rd grade, and this yr her school supply list did not ask for head phones. I see in the picture all the children are wearing te same head phones. Did WO supply each child with their very own pair of head phones or are they having to share. If they are having to share, I would like to send my child to school with her own.
We do not share headphones. This year we were able to supply them for third grade. The 4th and 5th graders still had headphones in their personal computer bags.
