TODD GOES TO GERMANY, ALMOST
This year will be the inception of the Dresden Project. This is a cultural exchange with students in the German-American Club in Dresden, Germany. The exchange is being conducted via e-mails, pod casts and eventually web casting. The focus of the project is to allow our students to extend their reach outside of the community and assist others with the learning of English.
This exchange is being facilitated in Todd by sixth-grade Social Studies Teacher, Mr. Colon. In Dresden, former Spackenkill parent Frank Huebinger has made it possible to connect us with his daughter Lisa’s school and teacher, Mrs. Kittel. Lisa’s Todd experience was so rewarding that Mr. Huebinger wanted to keep ties to the school and community. Approached last Spring, Mr. Colon Lisa’s former teacher accepted to work together with Mr. Huebinger, and Mrs. Kittel to bring his core class together with those students in Dresden via technology. Mr. Colon is also being assisted in this endeavor by Mrs. Karen Vitek, Technology Specialist. Mit freundlichen Gruessen /with best regards.
