Classroom to Classroom Connection: Place a check in the next section below if you wish to connect your class with another NH class.   The sky is the limit on what you can do classroom to classroom:  students from different schools read passages from the same book back and forth to each other; sharing of excerpts from favorite authors; sharing of poetry selections; upper grade students read to lower grade students; and many more ideas are possible.  GSDLN will do their best to help make classroom to classroom matches for you, or if you already know who you want to connect with just let us know.
