Virtual Zoo

With the constant barrage of thoughts that filter through my mind regarding kids, education, global warming and how it will all come back to haunt me when my child becomes a teenager, I think its important to consider the rationale behind writing this blog. One of my primary objectives is to celebrate all the great activities that take place at Holy Angels.

Many years ago, at another school, I had a long time parent approach me and say, "I can't believe all the things that take place here that I had no idea about." She realized this as she was going through photographs for the yearbook, and it made me think that often times, the child's response that "nothing" happened at school that day is not altogether accurate. Today was a great example of one of the many fantastic, yet less publicized, events that take place at the school.

Our fourth grade assembled their "Virtual Zoo" in which they researched an animal, dressed like that animal, and presented information about the animal to people who visited the "zoo". Ms. Woehler always does a great job with this event, and the parents and students both loved visiting and participating in it.

Our teachers are constantly providing the students with creative ways to learn, and amidst all the concerns within education, we have to remember that making learning fun is an important component of educating . Congratulations to our fourth graders and to Ms. Woehler for a job well done. I hope one use for this space is to celbrate the accomplishments within our school like this one.
