Encounter with an Expert

Today we Skyped with a science expert, Mr. Gerkin, from Field Trip Earth.  The call was used as a kick-off to the Arctic habitat. 

Before the call, we shared what we had in our schema on the topic of Polar Bears on the following Lino Canvas. 

Here's a glimpse of three parts of the Skype call...

Later this afternoon, we made this quick video about our favorite new learning.  Here's what the kids came up with below.

The students are currently working on a special thank you and mode of virtual communication to keep in contact with Mr. Gerkin.  They will also be sharing their progress with their Arctic Animal projects. 

Thank you to Mr. Gerkin and Mr. MacAllister
