Our Very Own Podcast

Spread the Word! Spofford Pond School Launches a Podcast!

Spofford Pond School's podcast, "The Great Polar Bearier Riff",  has officially gone public with its first episodes.  Over time we plan to add episodes from more classrooms and grade levels covering subjects and topics pertinent to our learning community. Currently we are airing five episodes from the student created, "Colonial Chatterbox".  Created and produced by students in Mrs. Valzania's social studies classes, each episodes delves into the 17th century lives of colonists as they establish their communities in the New World.

Here is their first episode: For more episodes, follow this link to find our podcast directly at Anchor or you can search for and listen to our podcast at:
