Mission 3: (Technology in Learning)

We will use technology to help us learn new things, check our progress, and make our work even better.

Mission 2:

School will be a place where talking and listening help everyone learn.
Adults will use helpful, friendly talk to make sure every child can join in, share ideas, and understand.

We will make our classrooms easy to talk and listen in, so everyone’s communication needs are supported.
