Welcome Trucker Buddy

The Trucker Buddy class met for the first time after school on January 24, 2011 in room 29. This is the first time SEEC has offered this class at Summerside.  The class has 16 students in grades 2-5. Both boys and girls make up our class. The students first assignment is to write a letter introducing themselves to our Trucker Buddy, Mr. Jerry Austin. Mr. Austin is an over the road trucker who specializes in hauling heavy loads across our country. The students and I have a lot of questions to ask Mr. Austin over the next 5 weeks. In addition to learning a lot about the trucking profession and life style, the class hopes to see a picture of Mr. Austin's big rig and map out where he is working in the United States. We have chosen to blog as a group instead of email since the blog is web based and Mr. Austin can access it anywhere there is an internet connection.  The children plan to upload drawings and photos of our school and their community to the blog to share their job and location in an interesting format.
