Time to Make a Wish, and Blow Out the Candles!

It’s hard to believe, but Classroom Bridges turns one this month! Thank you so much for all of your support, willingness to try something new and all the global collaboration you’ve done!

Do you know any teachers in Africa? Send them a link to Classroom Bridges to see in they’re interested in signing up to collaborate. Africa is currently the only (habitable) continent not represented on Classroom Bridges. I’d love to see all continents represented before we turn one at the end of the month, and I can’t do it without you!
