Christmas by Kelly

As part of the ongoing Global Classroom Project 2011-2012 ~ A Glimpse Around the World the November topic was school lunch. The children used Story Kit on their iPods to create a story about lunch in our school. In Story Kit the children take pictures, write text for the pictures, draw, and record their voice. We are sharing our pictures through a Flickr page with children around the world. The links below will take you to some of the books the children created.

I wonder...

As part of the Global Classroom Project- Kids Speak using Voice Thread the children discussed, brainstormed, and came up with "What we wonder about the way people live in different parts of the world". The kids will work together to create a VT introducing themselves, our classroom & our building to our new Global Classroom!

From there, kids from all over the world  will ask each other questions in an authentic way by adding slides to the VoiceThread and commenting back and forth to one another!

The girls wrote and produced a song to help us skip count by 50s.
