I really missed
the kids while we were on break, so it was nice to see their smiling faces on
Tuesday morning. The smiling faces set
the tone for the whole week in my classroom.
My favorite
pat of the week was my Social Studies class with Larimar, Kioney, and
Mizael. On Wednesday, we started an
exciting semester-long endeavor. We are
going to be video pen-pals with my friend’s second grade class in Brooklyn. Instead of using a webcam to interact (due to
poor internet signals on both ends), we will make videos, save them to a USB
drive, and mail them to each other. What
I love about this system is that the kids still get to experience the
excitement of receiving and opening mail.
In our first
video, the kids introduced themselves and taught the other class the alphabet in sign language. I am eager to watch the two classes interact as
they learn more about one another and realize that they have a lot in common. I love it when I have great opportunities
like this to expand the horizons of my students. Thank you Sam for coming up with this great idea!
If you’re
interested, here is our first video.
