Fifth Graders prepare for their NetGap speaker with the help of Miss Schepplemann
May 14 & 15, 2002

For the last two days we have been having a lady come in and talk to us about Netgap. Her name is Miss Schepplemann, but she said to call her Miss S. Tomorrow Betty Byro (my grandma) is coming to talk to us about how she grew up and how every thing now is different from back then...Stacey

One activity was a movie with a timeline. It was interesting to get my memory refreshed about time! But I never knew what generations are. Now I know!
... Gabe D.

Today we played some games. They were interview and story teller. Interview was you go around the room and ask what people like. It was cool to see what people like to do. Some said they like to fish and others didn't. ...Jake G.

I had fun getting ready for the senior citizen. We got to play games while we were learning to communicate and do other things. ...Mallory

One of the games was to show us why we needed to take notes so we remember the real details of her story and not what we thinkwe can remember. ...Brenna

The story teller activity was fun. Four people went out in the hallway .One stayed in. She read the story. They each had to tell each other the story when they came back in the room. Mostly they forgot a lot. ...Lucas

One of our activities was the memory circle. In the memory circle we had to say one thing we learned. ...Braeden

An activity that we did was Miss. S. gave everyone a card and we read them We had to figure out what was insulting to an older person. It's related because we were talking about challenges. ...Jacob B.

This Wednesday and Thursday we had Ms. Shcepplemann in are class doing games with us for a purpose. One was to show how hard it is to communicate without talking. Another was how you can hurt elderly people's feelings. We also had other things like a video and other games too. This teacher made me learn that older people have different things than us and they have a difficult body to control. ...Donnie
