Happy Valentine's Day!
I hope you all have the opportunity to spend the evening with the ones you love :)
Happy Valentine's Day!
Mrs. E.
Today's Homework:
Spelling: p. 88-89
Handwriting: p. 73-74
Math: WB p. 68
Also, we are uploading pictures to the posterous website for our Wolves Without Borders project. Today we were able to view photos from other schools and comment and ask questions about them. Tomorrow we are going to be doing the same thing.
The Wolves Without Borders project is a project through the Wolf Center in Ely, MN. We are the only class in the United States involved in the project (GO BABBITT-EMBARRASS!) and there is a class from Manitoba, Canada and Mexico also involved. We are going to be studying wolves and having some lessons from Tara Johnson, a teacher at the Wolf Center, in our class. We will be doing a three month project on wolves and will share it with the other classes. It will be an excellent opportunity for our students to be involved in using new technology, and for them to connect with other students on our continent in a common way.
The website that we are connecting on is called http://www.wolveswithoutborder.posterous.com/. We are spending about two weeks getting to know eachother and we will be posting pictures that show what living in Babbitt or Embarrass is like and what school here is like. If you take pictures you may send them to this email. Just attach the pictures in your message. The address is:
wwbusa@gmail.com
or you can send them to
kengman@isd2142.k12.mn.us
I am really excited about this project! I was able to Skype with the principal from Manitoba and the 6th grade teacher last Friday. What an experience!
Have a good night!
Mrs. E.
