J-I Elementary is a rural school in northcentral Montana just 30 miles south of the Canadian border. Our K-6 school has 50 students, 6 full-time teachers, and a part-time kindergarten teacher. Our school is located in the town of Inverness with a population of about 60 people.The town is about four blocks deep and three blocks wide with wheat fields skirting the perimeter. It is situtated along US Highway 2. This is an agricultural area with wheat farming as the main source of income. Farms average approximately 2000 acres each. The nearest large city of 70,000 is Great Falls located about 100 miles southwest. The majority of our students ride the bus to and from school. Some of them have a sixty mile round trip everyday. Our school day begins at 8:25 and ends at 3:20 for all K-6 students. We have been experiencing temperature swings as great as 72 degrees in the past week. We have snow on the ground, but not much for this time of year. The fifth and sixth graders will be participating together in this project. Mrs. Weinert teaches fifth grade and has nine students. Mrs. Rhodes teaches a class of seven sixth graders. We are looking forward to working with all of you. This will be our fourth year participating. Becky Weinert is the contact person for our school. Be talking to you online! **************************** J-I Elementary School Box 847 #1 School Street Inverness, MT 59530 USA email: 7jielemi@3rivers.net ________________ | *J-I | \ Montana | |_ ________| |_| ***************************   Carol Siwinski Germantown Academy Fort Washington, Pa. 10903 Curricular Technology Specialist csiwi@ga.k12.pa.us http://www. ga.k12.pa.us/curtech/curtech.htm http://www.forum.swarthmore.edu/~carol/rest_stop.html http://www.forum.swarthmore.edu/~carol/landmark.html "All students are gifted; it is our job to identify the gift"
