Fifth grade students at Rodgers Forge Elementary had an exciting opportunity to connect via Skype with a Sherpa from Mt. Everest. The fifth grade classes were all enjoying a read-aloud of the novel, Peak by Roland Smith in which a boy has the opportunity to climb Mt. Everest. As they listened to the story over several weeks, students generated and noted questions for Tenzing Sherpa that were sparked by information in the novel. This was such a valuable experience with a real-world connection for all involved.
