Tune in to Student TED Talks!
Tomorrow, our kiddos will be doing their Student TED Talks. If you are unable to come but still would like to watch, you can tune in to our Google Hangout on Air broadcast. This is our first attempt to broadcast on Google Hangouts so we will see how well it works. If you would like to check it out, here is the link:
Tune in here
If you would like to have an approximate time the your child will be speaking, here is the link:
Schedule
Last year, TED Talks went more quickly than we had anticipated so plan to tune in earlier than the time on the document. Once one talk is over, we will transition and start the next talk immediately.
If you miss the talks altogether, we will have videos of each talk posted on our blog, Harmonized Learning Blog within the week. Thanks again for all of your support.

Its Time for TED Talks!
Friday morning is our time for student TED Talks. We will begin in the auditorium at 9:00 am and are planning to end by noon. The schedule is attached here. As you can see, the talks are scheduled for five minutes each with a one-minute transition time. Last year, every talk did not go the full five minutes so we ran much faster than the schedule showed. Therefore, if you plan to come in to see your kiddo's TED Talk, please show up early in case we are running more quickly than the schedule. The schedule is only an approximation of the time frame the kids will be speaking.
Grades close next Wednesday, May 20. These are final grades.
Here is the information about the last day of school activities. From 11:00 am until 2:00 pm, we will be going to Sports Fusion in Chesterfield. You can see the letter explaining the trip by clicking this link. A copy of the permission slip can be found at this link. The lunch that is provided includes two slices of Papa John's pizza and a bottle of water. Students can opt out of the provided lunch, reducing the cost of the trip by $3.00. There is a snack bar at Sports Fusion where kids can buy food and of course students are welcome to bring their own lunches.
