The annual Read-Around-The-Planet project (http://www.twice.cc/read/) wraps up this week and what a whirldwind of testing and connections it has been! Districts across our region have particpated again this year and the students have had a ball. Ms Stackhouse at Spencer-Van Etten Elem always does a phenomenal job of encouraging the classes in her building to participate and this year she's come close to getting every class to partake of the fun! Here's a little snipet from one of the connections she facilitated: "This morning Mrs. Cornell’s Kindergarten Class from S-VE connected to the Guyandotte Elementary School in Huntington, WV. We learned that they can look out their window and see Kentucky and Ohio. They read us a story by an author from West Virginia. Then we read them a story and taught them the song and dance Wiggle Worm by Tom Knight, a local singer/songwriter. Everyone had a great time!"
Earlier today, the event organizers shared data that estimates 53,000 students were impacted by RAP! We extend a HUGE THANK YOU to Janine, Sue and all their support staff for continuing this great tradition! We love it!
