We are going to start reading The One and Only Ivan with a couple of other class and we are so excited! All we know is that it is about a silverback gorilla. We know 2 classes that will be reading with us. Mrs. McManus and her class is in Texas and Mr. McMillan and his class are in Australia! How cool will this be! We are really looking forward to learning with them! We are going to start keeping track of the things that we know about Gorillas and the things that we learn about them. We are glad to share our learning with you!
We had a visit from some amazing primates last week! We learned a lot about what they like to eat, how they live, and why they act the way they do. We took a lot of pictures and are just finishing a video which we will add below as soon as it is finished. The amazing thing about this assembly was that we invited Ms. Bauer's class in South Carolina, and Mrs. You's class in Ontario to join us using google hangouts! Our teacher used her phone to send the video to the other classes. The whole time we were wondering if they could really see and hear it very well. It was so fun to get a tweet from Ms. Bauer that included a picture of her class watching on their promethean board! It was cool to see our gym and guest speaker coming through to them! We are so glad that she always remembers to take pictures! Our teacher says these teachers are great because they are always willing to take risks and try new things to help their students! It was a very exciting day! Makayla made a video using pictures and videos that she and Mrs. Vought took. Enjoy! |
