Presidential Quiz Show

Today we had the opportunity to meet with Mrs. Snyder's class from PA.  We shared an online quiz board with questions developed by her second graders.  The four categories were all about Abe Lincoln and George Washington.  Student took turns picking questions and reading them to each other.  Classes were cheering and loving this fun format of review

President's Day Blabberize

We tried out a new way to "podcast" this week.  We used uploaded our drawings to Blabberize and then recorded our voices pretending we were either President Washington or President Lincoln.  This was a fun alternative to just voices.  Check out Jesse, Alyssa, Anthony, and Miranda's below. 

Virtual Meeting with a Gray Wolf Educator

The "gray wolves" were able to Skype with an wolf enthusiast on Friday!  Kim Wheeler, Executive Director of the Red Wolf Coalition, Inc. in North Carolina is passionate about wolves.  Since she often teaches children about wolves and has been able to interact with wolves herself, she was able to share both important and interesting facts about the gray wolf.  The students were most amazed at the fact she shared in the video clip below.  Students were also able to ask her the many questions they had.  We'll continue to check in with the live webcam of various dens.  Thank you Ms. Wheeler for taking the time to teach us more about this fascinating animal!
