HSD Videoconferencing

National Distance Learning Week is this week Nov 10 through Nov 14. We are celebrating this week by holding videoconferences between the HHS Chinese 2 classes and sixth grade gifted classes who have studied Ancient Chinese culture. Today was the first videoconference between HHS and EPES. The two elementary students who participated asked excellent questions including what was harder for the high school students to learn, to speak the Chinese language or to write it. The high school students unanimously replied that it was more difficult to write than to learn to speak the language. Tomorrow we move to MES followed by CES on Wednesday and ending on Thursday at RES. Friday the HHS students will take their annual trip to Chinatown.

Next week we will have three videoconferencing events. Two high school Economics classes will explore economics through baseball with the Baseball Hall of Fame and the AP Art class will videoconference with 4 Pew Fellows in the area of art.
