Hoofbeats Help

Jan. 5, 2003
2003 Theme: Down the River

As you can see by the web, we branched out to include lots of water topics, instead of just rivers. Head in any direction that interests your students. Poetry, stories and illustrations are all encouraged.

As a jumping off activity, you can send home the homework assignment (below) to get kids talking to their parents about water topics to lead into our Hoofbeats theme.
