An Apple for the Teacher — and Jefferson's 5R Classroom

Suzanne Ryan's class makes the grade in AppleSeeds magazine.

An apple for the teacher? How about an issue of AppleSeeds magazine for the teacher — and for the whole class?

Suzanne Ryan's fifth grade class at Jefferson School appears in the March 2011 AppleSeeds, in words and pictures. The issue's big question, "If you could create a virtual world, what would it be?" is inside the front cover. Answers from the class, along with photos, appear on nearly every page of the magazine.

And not only that, Conor Buckley, pictured with his teacher, writes about technology in a two-page spread in the center of the issue.

So what would 5W's virtual world include? Caroline says, "Rainbow unicorns you can fly," while Finn writes that "there would be no gravity." And Hanna tells the world that her virtual universe is a place where "each person has their own community, laws, and family ... They can visit others' communities but they must follow their laws."

Way to go, Conor, Mrs. Ryan, and the entire 5R class for making this world a little better!
