Well, we did it again! We participated in another successful choral reading via a Skype call. I remember learning H. W. Longfellow's poem "Paul Revere's Ride" when I was in school many, many years ago. I can still recite the first two stanzas from memory.
Since we were studying the Northeast region of the United States, I planned a unit on Paul Revere. My students watched several videos, listened to an online recording of the poem several times, completed various activities on this website, and learned their part of the poem.
Below is the video of the choral reading that was recorded as we Skyped with Mrs. Well's class in Kansas.

The Great Pumpkin Project 09
The students really enjoyed this hands-on project. They weighed, measured the circumference and counted the seeds in their pumpkins. I took the seeds home and roasted them so we could all enjoy tasting pumpkin seeds. A lot of learning was happening as well as a lot of fun.
Washington Parish Fair Field Trip
Thanks to all the parents who accompanied us on this trip. I hope you had as much fun as the kids did.
