Earth Day – April 22nd

We have added a new podcast to the Virtual Roughneck podcasting blog and wanted to be sure that our visitors were aware of its posting.  Rather than repost the content here, we will simply link to it so that you can watch our presentation.

Be sure to follow the links on our sidebar under the heading, “Hometown Connections”, to Our Class Website (It is an excellent resource! You must check out the Student Websites links), Cranford’s Podcasts, Roughneck Moodle (Our elementary online courses),  our Monthly PDF Assignments (a research database that we regularly use with pdf assignments that are changed monthly), and our Holiday Heyday activities (which provide varied monthly links and a pdf calendar skills practice drill) .

Let us know what you find helpful here.  We would love to have your feedback.

Celebrating Abraham Lincoln

abraham_lincoln1

This year we will celebrate the 200th year since the birth of Abraham Lincoln. Our study will include math lessons, interactive online Moodle lessons, literature, history, Podcasting, and even a Science experiment. Our class has also been invited to participate in another online Project by Jen with schools from all over the United States. On Lincoln’s birthday, February 12th, around 9:30 that morning, we will log into Skype and listen with other schools to a reading of the Gettysburg Address.

But for today, I would like for you to visit Mrs. Wellman’s Class in Spring Hill, Kansas, and click on the wonderful pictures that her students drew. Read about President Abraham Lincoln, and then write one comment.

VISITORS TO OUR SITE ARE ENCOURAGED TO DO THE SAME.  PERHAPS YOU TOO WILL LEARN SOMETHING NEW TODAY.
