Making Connections

I am very excited to report that we have successfully made a connection with Mrs. B's Team from Room 13, Cooinda Primary School in Bunbury, Australia! We have chosen this school because we want to learn more about how we are similar and different from them before we embark on our field trip to the Exploreum to see the exhibit, Kangaroo Kraze! Last week, we began our research on some of the wildlife native to Australia. This Friday, we will be wrapping up our presentations and writing scripts for a podcast we plan to share with Mrs. B's team. Our podcast will include some of our discoveries about their school and community, the wildlife we researched, questions that we have about where they live, as well as a bit about ourselves.



In addition to our research and script writing, we will be following up on our spanish math activities to see if we can make two more mathematical conclusions by encoding our own story problems with the statistics we sorted through a few weeks ago. If all goes well, we will be decorating paper cut-outs of the nations we have been exploring, including: Venezuela, Cuba, Argentina, Spain, Mexico, United States of America, Peru, Costa Rica, and Nicaragua. Be sure to check back soon for pictures of our geographical fact art!
