The Attention is a Little Overwhelming

 When we started our little blog we thought we might get a few hundred hits from family members.  We never would have imagined how many people from around the world would notice.  Although we've been trying to keep track of all the places people are from, we might need a bigger map.

When Mrs. Swelander returned home from school today she realized just how big our revolution is getting.

Mrs Swelander says "Thank you everyone for all the support, but it really is my students who have been leading the way.  We are so lucky to live in an city where the change is as simple as teaching others about what we know. I also want to point out that what we're doing is being done by teachers all over the world.  The only difference is that instead of writing in our journals, we've made our thoughts public.  The world is certainly smaller when the response is immediate."

How could we know that a little health lesson would turn into a social networking experiment?  Mrs. Swelander has had to learn how to use Blogger very fast.  We have been reading all the comments.

With all the attention today, it was tricky to stay on task and learn other things,  but we did a lot of math and map reading.  It is very interesting to find all the countries on the world map.

We are off school until Tuesday, April 26, but be sure to check back with us.  There will be LOTS of exciting news to follow on The Milk Revolution!

Thank you for all your support!
