Skyping With Our New Friends in Pennsylvania

  Today we had the opportunity to connect with some new friends that we will be collaborating with in our flatclassroom project.  We discussed important characteristics of our state, as well as how our schools are similar and different.   Thank you very much Mrs. Schmidt's class!

" D M S B!"

Do you know the best song out there that we have been studying in class?  "D M S B !"  Don't forget that you can still see it anytime you want on this blog.  Now that you are getting used to the process of long division, I want you to practice with some new games! Enjoy!

We will be using Edmodo to connect with other classrooms around the world while we are working our our Flat Classrooms Project.  The students are really enjoying the opportunity to connect with others! I am hoping to use the Edmodo parent connection in the future.  

Virtual Learning

We are preparing for our Mystery Skype!  Students have been very busy researching clues about our state.  They will be sharing them with a class from an unknown location. Will they guess where we are from?  We will also have to solve their clues about where they live!  We are very excited!

We are researching!

We are creating!

We are collaborating!

 We are now looking forward to sharing and connecting!
