About the Project

In March 2008 Jodi Schuetz answered questions about America on the telephone to a class of English 10 and 11 year olds in Ken Marrable’s school, Morland Primary School (Ipswich, UK).
That 15 minutes was so stimulating and inspiring to the children that Schuetz and Marrable decided to explore avenues of cooperation that Morland and, the school that Jodi was associated with, Sugar Creek Elementary School (Verona, Wisconsin USA) could engage in.

From that the Sugar Creek/Morland Project was born. Within six months the first version of this website had opened, children had contacted each other, projects had been undertaken, American children had visited Ipswich and London and English teachers had visited and taught in America.

This website represents the functional hub of that project, a structured base for the exchange of education and ideas, yet organic enough to allow the project to grow in whatever ways the children's interactivity dictates.

Welcome to the Sugar Creek Morland Education Project.
