4th Grade Virtual Sharing

Posted on February 10, 2011 by Carmen Richardson

The Fourth Graders were able to share a mele with a fourth grade class in Ohio this morning (take a look at the short video below).  The students in Ohio were very jealous of us because it was 7 degrees there!!!  Later this month our fourth graders will be performing via skype at a school assembly for a school in New Jersey.  We love sharing our culture with others!
