I’m wondering if your students might want to extend their conversations on tolerance beyond the classroom by connecting with my four Change Writers classrooms:Lesley McKillop’s 4th graders are looking at what it means to be an ‘upstander’ – http://mckholtz4.edublogs.org/ . Halie Ferrier’s 4th graders have created the Letters of Tolerance VoiceThread you visited yesterday – http://ferrierforum.edublogs.org/ – Lutricia Hardaway’s 4th graders commemorated a historic election with their Obama Rocks! VT – http://lhardaway.edublogs.org/ . And Elisabeth Goossen’s 4th graders have reflected on tolerance through their poems in two voices VT – http://egoossens.edublogs.org/ .

Would love to see this coast-to-coast connection on such an important and empowering topic – but certainly understand that time is running short.
