This is What Courage Sounds Like at Kennerly!

Lindbergh students in Miss Ashley Gordon’s fourth grade class at Kennerly Elementary School used Google Voice technology to share voicemail messages about what courage means to them during the month of February. Students shared their personal definition of courage, in addition to a time when they have shown courage.

“We love incorporating new technologies in our classroom,” Miss Gordon said. “The students could relate to this because we have learned a lot about courageous people who serve our country through our American Heroes buddy project.”

In addition, Kennerly third-graders wrote about how they show courage at home, at school, and in the community. Students celebrated courageous American heroes in February by choosing to write on a silhouette of Martin Luther King Jr. or Abraham Lincoln. After the students shared their writing, they hung them in the hall on the third grade “Courage wall.”
