Welcome to the Mole Hole!  It's been a while since I've updated this page, but I've been spending most of my time working on a website for APS Quest Academy.  That's the school where I teach 4th grade.  I've spent a considerable amount of time developing a website for parents, students, and anyone else interested in learning more about the school. I hope you will visit it sometime!

There's also a website that I've discovered to help establish  online  communications between parents, students, and teachers.  It's called k12 Nation.net and parents with an Internet connection at home can access my classroom page to find out important dates, upcoming field trips, and email me through a secure format that only myself and my students can use. Check it out, it's worth a look!
 
 

I've also added a new page all about the 50s. If you ever wanted to surf the web to see what the hep-cats and daddios are  doing, check it out!  GO TO FIFTIES PAGE NOW!!

This is a website dedicated to the  motto:  "We ALL have something in common"

Here you will find pages and links  related to the things that interest me, either personally or professionally, in the hopes that you might find something of interest to YOU, too!

The pages are separated by topic.  The websites listed are those that I've found to be helpful.  So get  your hand on that mouse and EXPLORE!!

Teacher  Page	Parents  and  Students Page

• ATTENTION   TEACHERS:Here you'll find items related to teaching.  I teach  4th  grade students, and have found it to be quite the challenge!  If you are a teacher yourself, you may want to check out some of the websites  related to education.  You'll find lots of valuable ideas, lesson plans, and thematic units that can help you find just what you are looking  for.

• PARENTS   AND   STUDENTS: If you are a parent, there's some links to  school districts, including the one I work for,  Aurora Public Schools,  in Aurora, Colorado.  Through APS, you can visit other websites created  by schools in our district.  For students, there's some websites that you can visit to help with homework, or do research.  You'll also  find some places that are just plain cool to visit, for parents AND students.

• TRAVEL   PAGES:  We took a 10-day trip to Europe in May.  Thanks to the Internet, we were able to find exactly where we wanted to stay in Germany and Belgium.  We also found some good resources for fellow  travelers.  You can find airfares, currency converters, Eurail Pass   information, and other goodies that can help make your next trip easier.  You can also link to the Photo Page to see pictures from our trip.

• PHOTO   PAGE:  Here you'll find pictures from our trip to Europe.  Follow us from country to country as we tour Holland, Germany, Paris, Belgium, and London.  All aboard!!  You can also link to view pictures  of my students enjoying their Price is Right party, or see Leah and I at  home with our kitties.

• BASEBALL   PAGE:  Baseball has always been my favorite sport. If you are a baseball fan, or you want to learn more about the game, check out my  baseball page.  There's something for everyone!

• ANIMATION   STATION:  Are you a fan of animation? Have you been watching cartoons   ever since you were a kid?  Me, too!  On my animation page, you'll  find links to some great cartoons, including The Simpsons, my favorite!! I love all things Simpson, and have spent time finding some of the best websites for Simpsons fans.  Enjoy!
Not only am I a Simpsons fan, but I've got a brother who just finished working on an animated movie for Dreamworks  called "Chicken Run",  starring the voice of Mel Gibson.  The movie is the  creation of Aardman Animations, the  folks who brought you Wallace and Grommet. Check out their website and  learn more about Aardman and his wacky cast of characters!

• FEEDBACK: Like what you see?  Got an idea or a link that would be helpful?  Let me know!  I'd love to hear from you.  Email: jsolomon555@excite.com
