Skype Monday!

Today was an incredible.  This morning it was business as usual, Sign of the Beaver, math and Writer's Workshop.  Then, after Engage students went to lunch.

This afternoon we had DEAR, discussed Spelling, went over the final page of our Michigan Geography packet and then read some of Cosmic.  We also made a video tutorial of how to upload files to the wiki (specifically for paragraph practice) which I will post ASAP. The most amazing part of the day was next...

At 2:30 we were able to Skype with Scott Rigsby and Steve Ehretsman of ProCare Prosthetics.  Both Scott and Steve spoke at length about their prosthetic legs.  I did video tape the entire Skype session and will publish that later.  Please take some time this evening to discuss this amazing opportunity with your child.

Thank you for reading and have a wonderful evening!
