Gr. k-8 Pinwheels for Peace

Our school is new to video conferencing, and I would love to try it out by collaborating with another class (grades k-8). Every year, I participate in the Pinwheels for Peace project, and I would love to create a conversation between students about their ideas, pinwheels, poetry, etc. Please contact me if you are interested.

Our Community


We have prepared a PowerPoint file about "Our Community - Owensboro, Kentucky." Owensboro is the fourth largest city in Kentucky. We would like to connect with schools in the western part of the United States or Alaska/Hawaii to learn about your community. I have a PowerPoint template I can send you so that all you need to do is add your local information to it. Connection via H.323 equipment.
