Seedlings #93 2010-09-30

Post-Show description: 
What does a twenty plus year primary teacher do to jazz up her classroom in her spare time? Join us as we delve deep into these questions with Cherrie MacInnes, from Brewer, Maine. Last year, Cherrie decided on a whim to have her students video chat with third graders in all 50 states. It was so successful, she now has a new project. Join us for this exciting podcast.

Join Alice and Cheryl as we get the latest  from our friend Cherrie MacInnes and what she is up to in her classroom in Brewer, Maine. Bob missed the show, for good reason, Zoe his daughter wanted to check out what happens in the ER when you fracture a finger. Zoe, hope you feel better. Bob, we missed you!
