Our last day of celebrating Making our Mark! What a week we have had! It is amazing to see the faces of our students as they connect with the teachers and students from around the U.S. We have had discussions about digital citizenship and geography, and shared many readings of The Dot. Mrs. Frances' 3/4 class connected with Mrs. Flickinger's class from South Burlington, Vermont. We only had a short time to connect, but we shared some of the Trading Cards we had created using Morse Code. Our second Skype of the day was a new connection with Ms. Garcia's 3rd grade class. To our surprise, they were from Albuquerque, New Mexico! Mrs. Greco's class loved talking with them and asking questions about New Mexico and finding out that we had a lot of similar interests. We shared our Trading Cards in Morse Code and are looking forward to sharing them with her class! Mrs. Sorensen's 3/4 class was scheduled for 2 Skypes. Unfortunately, the students for the first Skype had to finish testing, so we asked Ms. Staudt, their librarian, to talk with us for a few minutes. They live in Mason City, Iowa, not far from the Minnesota border and only a couple hours from the Mall of America! We shared back and forth and then promised to connect again when the students could be there. Mrs. Flickinger's class of 1st graders joined us for a few minutes at the end of library class and we shared art that they had created and our trading cards. Our last Skype of the day connected Mrs. Kozlik's 3/4 class with Mrs. Groden's 1st graders from Medford, Massachussetts. The 1st graders had made trading cards giving us ideas to try. They were amazing! Many of them said to Try Hiking. The 3rd and 4th grade students loved talking with the younger students and were terrific role models for good digital citizenship. What a week! A huge thank you to all my connections, my students who shared these experiences with me, and the teachers who were willing to rearrange their schedules or come back to the library in order to make all of this happen! I sincerely hope that many of these connections can continue throughout the year!
