I started teaching at Deaf Smith in 2001. We are a 100% Title I school. Before this I ran a Children’s Art Museum. In the spring of 2006 my principal asked if I was willing to teach Technology as part of the specials team. I started teaching Technology in 2006 – 2007. I love it.

Hi Kimberly! You are name number 2 on the 80 schools database AND you are in the same time zone. I’m not totally certain how this Skype project is to proceed, but I am excited to try. I have a grade 5 and 6 class; however due to large numbers the grade 5 students are with another teacher from 9:00 to 11:00 each day. Hopefully we’ll hear from you soon.
I have a 4th grade class in Southern California that would love to comment on your students blogs and receive some comments from your students in return.
Just a note, that our comments need to be approved before becoming public, so they won’t be seen immediately – I clear them about twice a day. Here’s our address if you are interested. We’re part of 4000 bloggers on this community.

Thanks,
Arlene
