I teach a group of 27 fifth grade students at Hillcrest Elementary in
Ellsworth Wisconsin. Ellsworth is a town of 3000 located 50 miles
east of the "Twin
Cities" of Minneapolis and St Paul, Minnesota.Hillcrest is a K-5
school of 340 students. We are one of four elementary schools in
the district. This is a dairy farming area although an increasing number
of parents make the hour drive to St Paul for work. Most of my students
are from a Scandinavian or German ethnic background. I guess we're typical
midwesterners. We're looking forward to participating in Global Dreamers.

I forwarded a couple photos to you showing my class after our fall model
rocket shoot.This is always a popular activity and this year was no exception.The
pictures are taken on the school playground directly in front of the school.
My students are enthusiastic about participating in your project
and I hope they will continue to share their thoughts with other students
on the topics suggested for discussion.Thanks for originating what is an
outstanding project.
All
the best,
Doug
