APPS We Will Be Using For the Next Few Weeks:

Poetry Creation apps: Some of these apps are free, but not all. Please do not buy any of these apps unless you decide to use them with your poetry unit. I will show you the apps in class, and then you will decide which app(s) you wish to use when creating your own poems. 

We will also be using a new Math app this week. It is called Area of Figures. There is a cost to this app ($1.19), so do not feel obligated to get it. We can always share classroom iPads for this app.

To create our business cards in Career Ed., we will be using the free app - Canva.
