Our lucky students have participated in a number of skypes in the past few days. Here is a summary of some of them.
Mrs. Nihipali’s Kindergartners loved sharing their digital story “The Boogie Board” with their Kindergarten friends in Baltimore, MD. The children in Baltimore created a wonderful book for us in return. We loved reading their book and had so many questions about the book and their community. We got to Skype with them one last time to ask our questions and answer some of theirs!
Mrs. Ah Hee’s fifth graders skyped in small groups with their Baltimore Buddies to discuss the endings of the stories they were writing together in Google docs. They did an awesome job communicating together and leading their own discussions in small groups to make shared decisions about their writing.
Kumu Kala’s class and Mrs. Ah Hee’s class participated in Read Across America day with their Baltimore buddies. The fifth graders read two of their collaborative stories and kicked off their next project, a Math project, with a shared reading of “Sir Cumference and the Great Knight of Angeland.” The fourth graders recited a number Hawaiian legends to their Baltimore friends and listened to some very interesting stories about Maryland.
Here is a slideshow with pics and video clips from each Skype!
