Technology only a Part of Education Success The advances in technology continue to amaze us. The uses for technology in education are equally as amazing and exciting. From digital textbooks to web-based Ma� Bullock research Governing Board to bringyour-own-device programs, technology is a major part of our everyday life. However, with all these new advances comes increasing responsibilities and a determination as to what technology we really need to educate our children.

Too much dependence on technology will create problems for our students as they won’t learn important interactions with adults and each other (just look around the next time you’re at any restaurant and everyone is texting and no one is talking). So, what will save us from too much technology?

Cooking! As odd as that sounds, having a family cooking night is a great way to get children off the technology, enjoy some fun “back in the day” time, and learn math and history along the way.

At our home, we love pizza night. We have our kids follow the cooking directions to make

EVERY STUDENT, EVERY DAY, PREPARED TO SHAPE TOMORROW

the dough (learning measurements and proportions – math) and then cut up all the toppings.

They are quizzed along the way about history (where did pizza come from; how many pizzas are eaten every year, etc.). When it’s all done, they get to enjoy the fruits of their labors and learn that technology can’t do everything. It also helps them to learn to depend on themselves and each other for success.

If we can teach our children to appreciate a little of the old and some of the new, we will be rewarded with a strong community.

National STEM Recognition for Heritage Teacher

H e r i ta ge E l e m e nta r y science teacher, Cindy Piano, was recently named a recipient of one of the Presidential Awards for Excellence in Mathema�cs and Science Teaching.

Peoria Unified Students Share, Care For Others

Adult Center at Cactus High Teaches Life Skills

Bryce Watts is an adult student who a�ends Peoria Unified’s Adult Training Center (ATC) located at Cactus High School, paints lines on the field as part of his training. The ATC provides students with disabilities, who have completed high school courses, opportuni�es to attain skills with job responsibili�es on campus.

There are more than 36,000 students who attend Peoria Uni�ied schools and, with guidance from school staff, the majority showed charity and generosity throughout the holiday season to help the less fortunate in our community.

Here are just three examples of students sharing and caring for others: a second-grader collected more than 700 pairs of shoes for an orphanage; junior high students met with their teacher during winter break to shop for toys for hospitalized children; and high school students assisted in an annual charity toy drive.

Jayden Gawronski, Betheny Daniels, Alicia Mar�n, Izzy Appricio, Amanda Whitney, Jason Gonzalez, Ian Nordstrom and Branson Oxford, in sixth grade at Desert Harbor Elementary, shopped for toys to donate to Banner Estrella Hospital.

A d dy s o n D e l P i e r , i n second grade at Parkridge Elementary had only one wish for Christmas – to collect 100 pairs of shoes to donate to an orphanage.

To help her reach her goal, the Parkridge Elementary community held shoe drives. Edris Klucher, a community member,

saw a post about the shoe drive on Facebook and reached out to her own community to collect shoes. Then she nominated Addyson for a KPHO 5 Pay It Forward recognition and the $500 she received will ship the donated shoes to Soles for Souls, a non-pro�it organization that distributes shoes to third-world countries.

View Addyson’s Pay It Forward story on www. cbs5news.com.

Using their own money, the Addyson Del Pier, in second grade at Parkridge Elementary, collected more than 700 pairs of shoes for an orphanage. students were able to purchase nearly $100 in toys for the hospital.
