A Chat with our Governor

Governor Branstad took time out of his day on Friday to skype with our 5th grade classes.  The students had prepared questions and then we drew names to see who would get to ask them.  We have been studying government and the election, so this opportunity fit in perfectly.  It was also a meaningful addition to our preparation for the trip to the capitol!  The governor's communications director sent us a nice email afterwards saying, "Your class was fantastic!! They had some great questions. I hope they learned a lot from the governor and enjoyed the experience. I know the governor did."
