I teach kindergarten in KS. I have been teaching for 3 years and prior to that I was a stay at home mom for 12 years. I love being back in the classroom and love teaching kindergarten. I am looking for more ways to introduce my young learners to technology and connecting with other learning communities.

Dear Chelsey,

I hope you are all well and have a wonderful school year. I am writing to tell you that we are beginning our peace project for the year in honor of the United Nations International Peace day on September 21st, 2011

We invite our friends from around the world to participate in our project by writing about peace at your school, towns, city or countries. Since I am also the project director of the GVC Clubhouse there two ways in which you can send project. If you use the clubhouse wiki then please:

http://gvc-clubhouse.wikispaces.com/peace

Go to New Page and create a page called Peace - and add your school's name or organization. TAG the page: peace, and it will appear on the wiki menu. OR send your text, images or videos to marsha@gsbi.org to post on the Global Dreamers website Peace 2011-project. See Peace Archive

We are sharing our work with the Global Virtual Classroom and hope to have a great collaboration with all of the wonderful educators and kids from around the world.

Please join us. Wishing everyone a great year and looking forward to hearing from all of you,.

Sincerely,

Marsha Goren

Hi, my name is Katie. I a from Kansas City. I teach 8th and 9th grade transition, math and science. I teach at an alternative school, therefor it is small. There is only one teacher of each discipline, the other transition teacher, and me (of course). Of these teacher, no one else teaches 8th grade math and science. So it will be nice to have a bigger community to be involved in. I am really excited to get to collaborate with fellow science and math teachers.
