Dear Parents, Our class, Mrs. Ritter's kindergarten class at George C. Clarke Elementary, Fort Worth, Texas would like to invite you to participate in our classroom project with your children. Our classroom mascot, Selena, is visiting schools all across the United States and Canada learning about the country in which she lives. Selena is keeping everyone involved by updating her online journal with information about her journey. Selena chose to use the Internet to keep her journal because it allows all of her friends have immediate access to her daily activities. Selena also updates a map showing her present location and all of the schools that she has already visited. The project, "Selena on the Move" encourages students to develop their skills in map reading, research, reading and writing. Information about the local area is also shared by the students of the host school. Some elements of local History and Geography are also introduced by the host school to aid in the learning experience. We wanted to make Selena's website a fun experience so we have included a section called 'interesting facts' and a matching game 'Selenas Matching Activity'. Please visit these sections and feel free to leave Selena a message in her guestbook. Please take a moment to visit Selena's website with your child and read about her adventures. You and your child will share in a great experience learning about the country in which we live. Mrs. Ritter's Kindergarten Class |
