I just have to tell you all how impressed I am with Ms. Manlinguis’ class! Today I surprised them with two exciting collaborations that we are going to be a part of!
First, both third grade classes are going to be collaborating with two third grade classes from Iolani school in Honolulu! Throughout the year we will share the differences and similarities of going to school in a rural vs. urban area. Our first Skype with them is going to be in the next few weeks. We will introduce ourselves and be able to see who our project partners are!
Secondly, I was happy to tell Ms. Manlinguis’ class that they will be collaborating with a school in France this year. As many of you may know, our third graders do an in-depth study of Princess Pauahi. This year they will be researching some of the places that Princess Pauahi visited on her travels around the world. We are lucky that we will get to learn about France from French students!
Our first project with our friends from France is to create a video that introduces us and our school. Boy did our third graders impress me when they went straight to work planning and practicing! With just a few guidelines they used their creativity and got busy! Here are some pics of them working together on their segment of the video!
And here is the finished video!
We hope our friends in France (and other places) enjoy watching it!
