Hi Carol,
  I'm the "computer teacher" for grades K-8 in a school of 600 (K-12), and
am looking for things the kids might find exciting.  Your project sounds
excellent, so if you want us please keep me informed about how to
participate in GVN.  I'll keep an eye out here in the Teachers Channel.
Thanks!  ...Tom

Jim, what an exciting program you must have.  So far no real problems
have been reported thought I must admit that they are only beginning the
third week.  Our program is limited to 15 fourth graders who are in
regular education and children who are learning disabled.  There are two
teachers anone full time aide in the class.  I hope that Molly will gain
the support ncessary to make this kind of program successful is she and
her school try to implement this type of classroom structure.  Thanks

Hi Tom,
Now the next step for me is to get a modem for my classroom.  I 
discovered our phone lines will work if I put in the "Special code!" 
Let's be sure to stay in touch because I am going to do this if I 
have to download the messages from the word processor, at home.
I teach at Kellogg Marsh.  It is a new school and pretty 
progressive.  I would be curious to know when you taught in the 
district.  I am in my fifteenth year teaching fourth and fifth grade 
but I am only in my fifth year here in Marysville.  Before that I 
taught in Lake Stevens and Everett Schools.  
This year I have only 25 students (haven't seen them yet) but I am 
pretty sure I will have 28-30 by the time school starts.  I will 
send you a class list as soon as it is "for real."  School starts 
for us on Wednesday so it will be pretty soon.  I intend to have 
kids write their letters on the word processor and to download them 
on line, all at once, under my name and password.  Do you think we 
should use their whole name or just their first?  Talk to you!

Hi Chris,
  Got your reply about looking for GVN news in CH 11.  When I added it to
my list, however, I see there's nothing in it at all.  Must mean my local
BBS doesn't pick that up, right?  Can we operate here, or should I try to
get that added?   In other words, will it be essential for me to have
that?  Where will the project itself be appearing?  Is there other stuff
in Ch 11 that I should be reading anyhow?
  I would guess it will take a month for us to get to the point of sending
things in, as we're just starting school tomorrow (8/31), but we'll see
what we can do!  ...Tom

Julie,

In a message to Carol Rundberg you said:

-> for the last few years we have had 45 min. periods which I HATE!!

We have had 45 min. class periods at our school for the past few years.
I HATE it too. I always feel pressured to get as much done as possible
in such a short time. And although I try to avoid it, I'm afraid
sometimes I make my students feel rushed too.

I don't have the problem that you have with new students/students
leaving, though.

Hi,
   Our elementary school was just renovated and as part of the renovation we now have three 386s in my third grade classroom.  In my previous school I used Macintosh so now I would like to get input from others about what PC software would be good for my third grade classroon.  I know, of course, about Carmen Sandiego but I also need software for math, science, typing, etc.  What have all of you tried and found to be good for this grade level.

   Susan, So. Hadley, Ma.

You already have!  I'm not sure how the fidonet<->internet gateway
works, but this newsgroup is called "k12.chat.teacher" here - there is
a newsgroup called "soc.culture.australian" which might be of interest
to you.  Otherwise, feel free to send me some mail.

Cheers,

Nick.
