A Virtual Valentine For Mrs. Conklin’s Class

We participated in the The K-12 Virtual Valentines Project. This project is designed to teach students geographical awareness and understanding while connecting classrooms all around the world for Valentine’s Day. Our partner class is a kindergarten in Newfoundland, Pennsylvania. We found their school on Google Earth and noticed that their school is a different shape than our school. Our school is shaped like a square and their school is shaped like a hammer. We also wondered if they have a playground. We could not see a playground.

We used Kerpoof to make Valentine cards for our new friends and made a movie for them. We hope we can skype with them soon. Happy Valentine’s Day to Mrs. Conklin’s kindergarten class.

Chromebooks for KinderKids

Mrs. Knee asked Donor’s Choose for 2 Chromebooks for our classroom. Lots of people she knows donated money so we could get the Chromebooks. We were very excited when Mr. Yergeau brought the package to our room. We unpacked the box and took a look at our new laptops. We can’t wait to use them. Thank you to Cathy Higgins, Dr. Peggy George, Amanda Marrinan, Marrinan Family, Susanne Tewell, Linda Nitsche, Cheryl, Cynthia Dunlap, Marian Guidoboni, Anne Sloan, Chris Kenneway, Gary Stager, Susan Gelder, Pam McLeod, Mali, and Disney for your contributions.
