Anyhow, we got started working on our modern folk tales task last week. We'll have the laptops this week to finish up the written portions, and then we can start working on our Illuminated Manuscript front pages.
I've made the task sheet available on the blog earlier this week. In the interest of taking care of our pennies at the school I've decided to start minimizing how much photocopying I'm doing so I won't be printing out class sets anymore. I'm still more than happy to print copies on request, but it's pretty mindboggling just how big the photocopying budget for a school like TMC can be. I remember an old principal of mine (at a much smaller school) telling us that we typically spent close to 10,000 dollars a year on paper, toner, and maintenance.
Doing things electronically is also significantly better for the environment, so this is a pretty good kick in the pants to do something positive that way too.
As an important FYI: Because we use Google Classroom and most of my task sheets will be in Google Docs I will just mention that in order to access them please make sure you are logged in using your school Gmail account. It only lets me share links within the CBE, so if you are trying to log in with your personal account it will start pinging my phone with messages, and manual approval only works like 50% of the time.

In charge of scheduling, Yoda was.
