Dear Mrs. McGowan,
     In this time of being thankful, we want to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your wonderful project.
     If we hadn't been involved with it, we may never have pursued our work with the Monarch Migration.  Although it took us in a totally different direction than we had planned, we learned so much and had so much fun!
     We also have greatly enjoyed the wonderful work of the other participants, and learning about Autumn across our great America.
     Ms. Jacoby says you come up with simply terrific projects, and we agree!!

Thank you so much, again, and Happy Thanksgiving!

The Autumn Across America telecollaborative project provides a  wonderful way for me to combine reading, writing, and technology  activities for my students. The ability to choose lessons that match  our curriculum - yet fit into the objectives of the project - allows  me to meet curriculum standards in a creative manner. A great big 
hurray goes to Mrs. McGowan for all the time, effort, and creativity  she puts into all of her online projects!

    As always your project was open ended and allowed for great freedom in how a teacher presented it to the students.  Having a focus and reason to write, then seeing their work on the net gives meaning to their work.
   Thank you Marci for creating such interesting projects.
