Dear Parents: Your child will be visiting the Bahamas this morning but they'll be back by recess.
From Wisconsin to the Bahamas, hundreds of students met and exchanged facts, songs, cultures and friendships!
In a series of eight iChat connections between schools on Eleuthera and classes from KUSD at Stocker, McKinley El., Harvey and KTEC- students shared snow, cracked conk, national symbols, laughs and real-world learning!
Temperature in Eleuthera: 78F
Temperature in Kenosha: -3F
Library Media Specailist Susy Siel is the kingpin of the connections! Her continuing efforts make these experiences real and invaluable to our students!
For the poor souls that had to endure the stateside connections (and go home to SHOVEL) I thank every one of you! Your assistance make it all happen here and it WOULDN'T happen without each of your valuable contributions.
Comments, observations and more pictures will be posted soon- FEEL FREE TO LEAVE COMMENTS!
