No-Tech Tuesdays

Students in Ms. Murphy's class are "ditching" their laptops on Tuesdays to focus more on hands-on with critical thinking skills in all subject areas. Students are very excited to leave their laptops in their bags on Tuesdays. They will still be challenged academically, but take a break from screen time.
Liam Porter, 6th grade student said, "I like the idea of being unplugged from our computers instead of using them throughout the day because this will help my attention span because doing hands-on activities helps me focus more."
"There are several activities I used before the laptop days and I know they are great hands-on activities for my students that will drive creativity, critical thinking, group work, and all around strong academics. It is awesome to see the students get excited to do this," said 6th grade teacher Leslie Murphy.
