Welcome to Mr. Kessinger's Classroom

We are part of one of the seventh grade teams at Washington Middle School in Yakima, Washington

Our team motto is BOUNDLESS SPIRIT

We have chosen the tiger for our team mascot because of its boundless spirit. Even as tigers face near extinction, their spirit survives. As we mature into adults, we want our spirit to survive also.

In Social Studies units this year, we are using railroading as a theme for our geography studies.

We are taking many railroad journeys in our classroom that help to show us many things about our world.

You may need to install the Hyperstudio PlugIn installed to view our projects on-line or a Hyperstudio player to run downloaded stacks. See the SHARE105 Technical Assistance page for these files and further information.

All of this is a work-in-progress, so be patient with us as we continue to build.
