The Miss Zaleski and Mr. Fisher's Class Beautify Project

Sara Zaleski and I are teaming up for a vocabulary writing project. We are modeling our project on the story that we read called "Jamaica Louise James" which is about a girl who makes pictures to beautify a subway. Our students have made a picture and explained how it will beautify a place using at least two robust vocabulary words. We look forward to sharing comments with Miss Zaleski's class!

Project Fall

I thought I'd give an update on Global Learner stuff so far. It has been a busy semester. I'm finding it hard to fit in all that I want to do with my students.

We are currently working on a Fall Project with Tita Martinez' class in Center, CO. The idea behind the project is to compare some pictures and share some fall writing with another classroom. We set up a wiki to show our work. So far the students have taken a lot of pictures, charted some weather, done some leaf rubbings, and shared a book, The Leaf Man, with Mrs. Martinez' first grade classroom. We are working on some poems to include too. We look forward to finishing up the project when Center comes back from Fall break.

The project can be found here: http://projectfall.pbworks.com/FrontPage

More updates will be forthcoming as we add to the wiki.
