Socktober - Going Global

Students came to school today still buzzing about Socktober.  This made my heart sing!  I was thinking about Socktober all weekend long.  We think it would be neat if we could collect socks for our project from family all over the United States/world.  We will track all of the locations we get socks from on a website called BatchGeo.  The students were really excited to put their first long distance sock donation into this site.  We received our first pair from Omaha, NE!  If you would like to join in on this activity, please have your relative mail socks to VHE in care of Socktober.  Make sure they include an encouraging note and tell us which first grader they are connected to.  

Our flyer committee finished their fliers and sorted them to be sent home today.  We also decided to add a QR to their flyer.  By scanning this QR code with a tablet, smart phone or computer, you will be taken to directly to a link with my information on Socktober.  Ask your first grader how to do this once you've downloaded a free QR Reader app onto your device.
