Blackfish
Simple, yet very interesting! Students simply move their cursor to make the orca whale move around the screen. Hypnotic. There's not an ultimate goal, it's just a fun site to visit.

Distance Learning Opportunities
Live Video Chat with Santa
This year, Santa has agreed to host a free video chat for us with students from around the globe on Monday, December 15 from 1:30 to 2:00 p.m. Central.
Santa will answer pre-submitted and live questions from children about goings on at the North Pole via a Google Hangout. He may even have time to read a short story to the kids. No registration is necessary; Mrs. Melly will have the link to the Hangout by 9:00 a.m. December 15. If your students would like to submit a question for Santa to answer, you may use this form to do so. Children may also submit questions during the live chat. Mark your calendar to join Santa on December 15!
Please let Mrs. Melly know if you are interested in this opportunity so she can get you the website.
