LHS students were invited to the auditorium to view Obama become the president!!
Several 6th graders came into my room during lunch to watch the actual speech live.
I watched the inauguration in the Library with the History dept. It was kind of tight in there, but the students were engaged and watched quietly.
The entire second grade was shown the inauguration in the lunchroom while they ate.
It was wonderful to see such an hopeful speech
Thanks to our considerate 7th and 8th grade teachers, the inauguration was taped and our 7th graders watched it on the "big" screen in the cafeteria.
My sixth graders watched it on tape just after it happened. (We were at lunch during the actual ceremony.)
Many were awe struck at the enormity of it all!

Hi Mary - My students watched the inauguration in the classroom during part of our classes and lunch! Obama's speech was awesome!
It was taped and played after lunch for the kids.
I found the biggest television set, put it in the middle of the library, cleared as much space as possible, and invited classes to join me. It was packed!!
We took recess time to show them the speech.
We taped it onto a VHS, fed it to the infocus machine and showed it on the big screen in the cafeteria from 12:45 - 1:45. It was absolutely amazing and I was so delighted to share that moment of history with the seventh grade.
Karma is correct the TV was quite small!!
We watched the speech as a team in our classroom. The only problem we ran into was that everyone was watching it and the speech kept pausing.
Students at THMS had a variety of ways to view the inauguration. 8th grade students got lunch early and took it to homerooms where they watched the event live. The inauguration speech was videotapped and shown over the in-house TV network at 1:30PM.
