On Friday, February 19th, all 7 Kindergarten classes participated in a video conference with the Buffalo Zoo.  All classes learned more about winter animals, how they hybernate, migrate, and deal with the cold weather.  The zoo teachers were wonderful and engaging.  The students saw animals such as polar bears, snow leopards, gorillas, turtles, and tigers.  Students were able to ask questions and interact with the teachers from the zoo.

The gingerbread men in the kindergarten classes at Tobias Elementary went missing on Friday September18th when they ran around the school without permission. Students and their teachers searched high and low at Tobias Elemeantry and met many of the people in their school community like the Librarian, Nurse, Instructional Technologist, Principals and Office Helpers. The Instructional Technologist, Jill Williams on the spot shared with the kindergarten teachers an interactive website for their students to use to practice mouse skills and make connections to the activities they participated in that day. Classes used the interactive site in a variety of ways including: Airliner Slate in the classroom, in the Computer Lab and on the SmartBoard.
