Projects and a Skyping For Information

A happy little class of smart first graders.

Eli's mummy project

 Eli and his mummy!
Eli's Presentation 

 Everyone wanted to see the sarcophagus with the mummy inside!

We were all excited! 

Katie created a project and brought it in to show us.  

She was very proud!

On Wednesday, we skyped with our fabulous Iowa friends in Morning Sun.  We were so excited to hear about what the first graders had learned about arctic animals.  Mrs. Hilton's Class shared their entries from their journals about what they had learned.  It was very fascinating.  During the session we practiced taking notes.  It was hard to get all of the information but we drew quick sketches and only wrote the important words so that we could remember the information.

 Here is what we see when we skype.

 Here is a first grader's journal entry about penguins and Mrs. Hilton is pointing out a sketch in the diagram with a caption.  Sorry I couldn't remember what it said.  Nice penguin.

 Here's what the Morning Sun's Classroom looks like.  We can see the beautiful Mrs. Hilton helping out one of her students.

 More great information is shared about walruses, polar bears and arctic foxes.  Fascinating information.

Here we are very attentive to the information on the screen.  We love learning from other first graders.

Here is our class sharing the Matter Rap.  Our plan is to make a video of ourselves performing it.  Maybe next week.

Thank you Mrs. Hilton's Class for being our skyping buddies.  We loved sharing and learning.  Maybe next month we can all share a little love <3
