A Welcome from Georgia, Vermont, USA

Greetings from Mr. Hadd's 8th Grade Social Studies Class at Georgia Elementary and Middle School in Georgia, Vermont. We are excited that  Room 4 at Northcote Intermediate School in Aukland, New Zealand has agreed to connect with us.  The plan is to get started by having a student from our classes post to this blog each week on a topic involving our school, region, or country.  For example, sports, academics, current events, economics, traditions, etc.  All students will have the ability to participate through the comment section. I know we will learn much from each other.  I am looking forward discovering our similarities and differences.  New Zealand is 17 timezones ahead of Vermont, which means as we are ending our school day here in Georgia, the next school day begins in Aukland. Always a whole day ahead.  This may cause some delays in  our posts, and comments, but if we are all patient, this promises to be an amazing learning activity!

Mr. Hadd, Teacher
Georgia Elementary and Middle School.
