Only four days into the new school year and already the students in Room 310 are Global Learners! Today, we connected with a group of 3rd graders from the Jack Stuart School in Alberta, Canada. Their teacher, Mr. Wilson, wanted his students to have some real world Data to analyze.The 3rd Grade students created a poll: What is your Favorite Animal? Choices were given: Lion, Tiger, Monkey and Parrot. Each student in room 310 was able to share their favorite. The totals were tallied and from our class 1 student chose Lion, 6 chose Tiger, 9 Monkey and 3 parrot. Their job will be to create a bar graph which will be shared via student blogs.
After the math portion our classes exchanged information about our schools. We learned that we are very similar even though we are many, many, many miles apart. Did you know that in Canada the temperature is measured in degrees Celsius?
The students in both classrooms were great representatives of their communities and look forward to future connections!
Can you remember something else we learned from our new friends in Canada?
The third grade classroom's mascot is a Jaguar.

I think the idea of Skyping and becoming global learners is so exciting! Zach came home and shared all about talking to the class in Canada; I think this is a great way for the children to learn in a whole new way!
ReplyDeleteHi Lisa,
DeleteSkyping and video conferencing really "flattens" the classroom walls and provides the students with an opportunity to experience all different kinds of learning. I am hoping to surprise the students with many more types of calls in the coming days!
Thanks for taking the time to comment.

DeleteThank you so much for allowing us to "visit" your classroom. It was a great pleasure to share our first Skype call of the year with you. My students are eagerly awaiting our next Skype call. We are also excited to share our Bar Graphs with you in the coming weeks. We also appreciated learning about your class and community. We visited your school on GoogleEarth. We were wondering if there is a pool close to your school?
