This year we worked on being a part of a global world in our 2nd grade class room at Rocky River Elementary in Monroe, North Carolina. We are 7 and 8 year olds that loved to explore and be curious about the world.
- We blogged and Skyped with others around the world.
- We made connections.
- We had fun.
- We learned about other people and places.
- We collaborated.
- We communicated.
- We were creative thinkers, problem solvers and users of web 2.0 tools.
- We created Global notebooks to track our learning about the world.
- We became more aware of maps and locations of countries around the globe.
- We tracked visitors to our blog site.
We loved doing this each day and seeing how far away we were from goals we set.
Our average this month is 30 with 23 in the past 24 hours.
We decided to try and draw the flags from the 73 countries that visited.
With a piece of paper, ruler , pencil and crayons we created these flags to honor our visitors and to say THANK YOU for visiting. We learned a lot from many of you about your country.
Kia Ora Mrs Todd and the Roadrunners,
Thank you for your comment on our page. We enjoyed skyping your class and seeing all the wonderful things your class has been learning. You have done such an amazing job with learning about so many different countries!
This has been a great year for collaborating and we hope to continue to share and connect with our new classes next year.
We hope that both our students continue to follow us as we begin our new journey in the new school year.
Have a wonderful summer everyone!
From Miss Lologa and 2nd Grade Superstars!
