Ms. Everett’s third graders continued their collaboration with a class in Wales on Thursday by viewing a video they created for us. We got to hear and see the children from Wales as they talked about the different things they do at their school. It was so interesting to see the ways in which our lives and similar and different.
When we began the project the very first question that the third graders asked was “Where is Wales?” The third graders discovered that Wales is a country in the United Kingdom. Wales is right next to England! Our friends live in Swansea, in the South of Wales. Can you find Swansea on the map?
We will be collaborating further with this class by exchanging digital stories. The students are also using edmodo, an educational tool, to collaborate and communicate online. We are very lucky because we will be able to teach them some of the Hawaiian language and they will teach us some Welsh!
Here are a few pics of our friends in Wales.
