How's the Weather?






On the left I have added some links. All of the pictures above can be found in various places in the links. I added the Cliff school's web page, the island's web page which has some other links in it (check out lobster tales), link to the schools YouTube page with lots of their videos and projects and two weather links. One is a camera set to a view of our wharf which refreshes every 5 minutes or so so you can see what the weather is doing and if the boat is here...:), the other is a blog link to a site that connects some of the outer island schools study of the weather sponsored by the Island Institute. These schools also communicate to each other via the smart board for group activities like book group discussions. These groups also got together for the middle school retreat Cade went to a few weekends ago. Lot's of stuff to look through and revisit.


A little explanation of the above pics.

Pic 1 at the top - Taken the first year we moved here. Cade was still 2 almost three. Sofie wasn't even a glimmer. This was the largest class the school has had since we have been here. Back row: Judy (teacher), Lynn (5th grade, now 19, college student, has a job and boyfriend), Will M. (5th grade, the "other" Will; 18 and also in college. He had to take the rest of the semester off due to illness but will be back in the fall; currently on island and Connor's "bro"), Faith (Will's mom and Ed Tech at the time). Next row: Noah (5th grade, 18 and college student, his family moved off island due to due father's cancer, he passed several years ago, in contact with Connor via facebook), Chris (4th grade, Lynn's younger brother, high school senior), Will (4th grade), Jessica (3rd grade, now a junior, currently living off island in town but moving back this summer, has "the witch" for English and despises her), Bottom row: Andrew (2nd grade, Lynn, and Chris's younger brother, elder siblings to Aiden who I babysit, all the older siblings moved off island to live with their dad but Andrew is moving back good friend with Connor), Sam (kindergarten, now is 8th grade and goes to the same school as Cade), Dylan (kindergarten, also in 8th grade at the same school, younger brother to Jessica), Connor (2nd grade).
