The second and third graders have begun some very exciting projects with Heights Elementary School in Sharon, Massachusetts. Read on to see what each class is doing!
Mrs. Oyama’s class will be teaching the second graders about native Hawaiian animals while the students in Sharon teach us about animals that live in Massachusetts. We can’t wait to learn about animals that don’t live in Hawai’i! You can follow along with the project and see the work we are doing by visiting the wiki page we are using for the collaboration. Just click here!
Ms. Fullerton’s class will be participating in a Flat Stanley exchange with Mrs. Stewart’s class in MA. We had a wonderful time getting our Flat Stanley ready to take his trip to MA. You can follow along with this project on the project wiki by clicking here! On the home page of the site you can compare the weather and time in Kea’au and Sharon. Check out the difference, it’s amazing!
Ms. Everett’s class is comparing the different seasons and photoperiod changes of HI and MA with Mrs. Kuppersmith’s third graders. Check out our site to see how much daylight we have had the past few weeks compared to them! Just click on the Photoperiod Data page. Also, look at some of the questions they have posted for us:
Finally, Ms. Manliguis’ class is doing an alien exchange project with Mrs. Arcand’s class. We are using KidPix to draw some very creative aliens. We will then write descriptions of our aliens, share our descriptions with each other, and see if we can draw each other’s aliens. Check out the site for this project here!
We are so excited to be involved in these awesome projects with Heights Elementary school. And we can’t wait until the end of our projects when we will Skype with them and meet them live face to face!
