Coats for the Cold

Each year, the students at Rocky Hill collect coats for people who do not have one. To help get the word out, my class with the help of our tech buddies, Mrs. Field’s third grade class, made commercials. The commercials were played on our morning news show. We are lucky because the host of the show this semester is Kate and she is in our class. Take a look at the videos.

 The iPads are wonderful for studying space. There are almost too many apps! One of the apps we used was Google Earth. The students looked up our ePals from France, Bulgaria, Spain, Israel, and Wisconsin. The students even looked up our school and their homes. The other app we used was Star Walk. The students used the app as a telescope and a star chart. The students also recorded themselves showing the rotation and revolution of the Earth and moon.

Through out the year, the students have been writing to Mrs. Panayotova’s  class in Haskovo, Bulgaria. They are fantastic ePals, and they write to us every week. The students have written about their school, town, and country. Click here to take a look at their profile page on our Learning with the Word Wiki. They also sent us Halloween power points and a scary story. Click here to read the story about a Halloween party. They have fantastic friends and we are looking forward to working with them for the rest of the year!
