Classroom Snacks: Frederick County, October 13, 2016

Classroom SnacksAs educators, we spend lots of time talking about students but not much time talking to them. VSTE is working to change that by providing virtual visits to classrooms across the Commonwealth. Our "classroom snacks" will take place on Thursdays throughout October.

We'll continue the series  with three groups of students from Frederick County on Thursday, October 13, 2016. We'll meet live with students from  Bass Hoover Elementary School at 10:00 AM, Sherando High School at 11:15 AM, and Frederick County Middle School at 1:30 PM. Join us in our Adobe Connect room to listen live or access the archive later.

You can check out the archives of last week's conversations with students from Bull Run Middle School here.
