February 2009


On February 10th, Dallas ISD celebrated the 100th day of school. If you have ever been around a primary classroom (grades PK-2), you know this is a big deal. Classes have songs, cheers, art projects, etc., all revolving around the 100th day of school and the concept of the number 100.

For the second year in a row, we have shared our 100 days of school activities among schools. This year 28 classrooms from 17 different school participated in 12 different videoconferences.

Activities ranged from sharing collections of 100 things, stories of “If I had $100″, art projects, and even 100 jumping jacks. A great time was had by all. We hope to have you participate with us next year.

Here are a few pictures of things that were shared.

Wow, how did it get to be the middle of February? I can’t believe it has been 6 weeks since I have posted anything. I guess that is an indication of how busy I have been. I promise to try to do better.

But on the bright side, Dallas ISD has been VERY busy with videoconferencing. Here are just a few things that are or have been going on:

  • 100 days of school
  • African – American Fact or Fiction?
  • African – American History Month Exchange
  • Read Around the Planet (43 calls in two weeks!)

I promise to post more about each one as soon as I can! :-)
