We are a class of 10 and 11 year olds looking for new adventures in learning!

1/21/10 Our class spent about 30 minutes Skyping with Mrs. Brown's class. We all had a blast! The students learned a bit about each other, about what they have learned about the Olympics so far, what they have enjoyed about the project and then favorite things each class likes to do. I am excited about all the other schools that are contacting us to Skype. It looks like we might connect with two more schools next week. Please link to our blog, Mac's Mustangs, above to see what we have tried out.

We are currently writing Olympic stories where each student is writing about a winter event they would like to participate in. We have just finished the first draft an will be working next week on revisions and editing. I am hoping to put them on Voice thread and have the students read them. We will see what time we have available. My only problem now is finding time to visit other classes. That is my goal this weekend. We will be researching Great Britain
