Mrs. Giron & Ms. Aceves THE DIGITAL PARENT Tips and Tricks for Parenting in the 21st Century This tip is from: CommonSenseMedia.org TikToc 101 TikTok is a social network for sharing user-generated videos, mostly of people lip-synching to popular songs.  You can provide a buffer between kids and iffy content by watching with your kids and making videos together. Offer to hold the camera or turn it around to do a selfie duet. You can post it or save it as "private" so only you can see. The app also lets you share videos by email, text, or other social media where you can better control who sees it, so kids can perform for friends and relatives instead of a wider network of people.   Extra Service Hour Opportunities If you are ready to get some service hours this year, here is what is needed so far: Volunteer: *Yard duty volunteers (from 10-10:35 and/or from 12-12:45 daily) MUST let the office know in advance if you would like to volunteer *Parent driver to pick up a refrigerator to deliver to our school. Donate: *Vegetable plants or seeds *Flowers to plant for the spring *Bags of potting soil *Gift cards to: Lowes, Home Depot, Staples, Target or Ikea. **Additional items listed on Schoolspeak.com under "School Wish List" THANK YOU!!
