Both third grade classes began their collaboration with ‘Iolani School in Honolulu this past week. We will be working together all year to compare the urban community they go to school in and the rural community that our school is in. Each student was able to say their name and something interesting about themselves. The students then had time to ask a few questions of each other. We found out that there are many things that the students in Honolulu get to do that we don’t, including going skating at the Ice Palace! We also learned that the traffic can be very hectic right before school starts. We are looking forward to the future projects that we will be working on with our new friends at ‘Iolani school!
We used Google Earth to compare the areas that our schools are in! Here is a pic of the area surrounding our school in Kea’au.
