sounds like a lot of fun.

What types of things are you setting up for treasures?

excellent... hope they find some wonderful treasure

Fun! Let us know how it goes

yes please share how it goes! Sounds great

what grades? tell us more

enjoy! My elem. kiddos loved the clues to our new class pet today in QR codes.

what kind of pet. I am on the verge of getting one

Thanks, y'all! it was fun- and it worked! We did a simple version- answers to trivia re: the district & their PD/ New Tchr cohort 4 the yr!

honeymic: Thanks! love yours! did you QR the clues & they had to guess? another way?

I'd like to do it so one leads to another clue or somethng like that? was just 2 get tivia out there,get the new Tchrs mixed &play with tech

trivia, not tivia!

stacykasse: she's a cherry head red foot tortoise

JillBromen: yes, that's the way I did it. I sent clues in their welcome letters. Then we put them all together on the first day.

Love it! (ok, forgive my Qs!- did you send the codes in the letters?)

sounds like a great beginning...get them moving & interacting and using tech

JillBromen: yes, I sent the codes in the letters. Please ask away!

Must be above third grade...they can't read cursive

stacykasse: wrote cursive to my 4th graders, did the rest in print.

honeymic: Thanks for sharing the photo- and your letters/ project! I love the handwritten with the tech!

JillBromen: I like to do handwritten welcome notes if I have the time. Seems more personal I think. Our classroom is a big mix of 1:1

laptops, lots of tech projects, side by side with kid made art and hand made projects. I have hand written papers on the wall right beside

the typed ones

Perfect... and just the way it should be. I knew I loved ya for a reason(s) Pls keep sharing your pics!

Agree re: more personal... I have a dear friend who still writes & sends cards out-things u could say in email, but we get 'real' mail.

my mom is the only one that still sends me real mail. It's a treat!

honeymic: Love it that she does! Ha- my mom sent me a postcard from her trip to Ireland in Sept- I received it in April!

btw- thank you nmangum for this!! They loved it!

JilBromen if you gave me your address I would send you real mail

ok- doing it again with a new group Monday... woo-hoo!

glad they liked it! I think it is a great team building activity and a lot of fun!
