Students in District 17's elementary schools are connecting with children all over the United States!
Check out our first Mystery Skype at Burr! Fourth grade researchers from Mrs. Gagliardi's class and Mrs. Clark's LEAP group recently worked hard to discover both the state AND the town of our Mystery Skype school. It was an amazing hour full of problem solving, good questioning, and learning!

Here, students from Mrs. Molloy's 3rd grade class at Burr are having a shared reading experience with 3rd graders in Maryland. We read Otis by Loren Long, a charming story about an enduring friendship. Students from both schools took turns reading the pages. This was a great way to celebrate reading in RSD 17 and to share our love of reading with new friends. Listen in as a Burr 3rd grader reads from Otis.

2nd grade students at KES and Burr recently "Skyped" with 2nd graders in Maryland, Pennsylvania and Vermont. They read a story together, shared facts about their states, and shared "Dot Day" projects.
