I am on the hunt for a new project for our class. Do you have an old smartphone or iPod touch that you no longer use? If it's an old smartphone, it only needs: a camera and the ability to connect wirelessly to the internet. It will not be used as a phone, so there is no contract on the phone. I'm trying to get 24 total, so please spread the word. If you work at a cell phone company and they are willing to make this donation, please let me know. I know some companies donate their older turned in smartphones to local businesses or charities in our community. The donations will be strictly for classroom use. Thanks in advance!!!

We were able to see the reindeer and Santa through the reindeer cam online. Our class LOVED it!!! Wow, we had a great response on the toys for Toys for Tots. It was great to see all of our friends on Channel 12 news. I was so thankful that they came by and took the time to share our story on their news program. We were also thankful that Mrs. Sugg and her class invited us to join them on this adventure. There were around 40 toys donated in all and that will definitely make a difference in the lives of some children this holiday. Our class chose to use 3 of their DoJo points to "buy" a gift so another child could have a present for Christmas. I was so proud that EVERY child participated in this event. We have an amazing class and I love them all! We had a friend from our community come in and teach us about Hanukkah. She read a great story, showed us how to play dreidel, and shared Challah bread. Wow, what a fun adventure today. We went for a trip to our shark tooth pile today to help us prepare for our upcoming fossil adventure with Mrs. Sugg's class. Once we found shark teeth, shells and rocks we brought them back to use our new digital microscope (I was able to get this from a grant I received). The students had a blast and thought it was so cool to see objects that close up. Guess what is an extra bonus from this microscope? You can take pictures with it as well. Below are a few examples. I wanted to share a link to my Donors Choose project. If you would like to make a donation to this project, please click on the link below. We have had three donations to date and the deadline is approaching. Thank you in advance. http://www.donorschoose.org/project/literary-adventures-in-a-kindergarten-cl/888638/ Click to set custom HTML
