Today we will Skype with the class that is hosting our Flat Stanley. We have their Flat Stanley below and have created a book of his adventures. In turn they have created a movie of our Flat Stanley’s adventures in Maryland. See our collaboration wiki here.
Today we will be meeting in your room to learn about our companion class from Triadelphia Elementary School in Maryland and to write a letter on the wiki introducing ourselves to them. Next we’ll dress (decorate) our Flat Stanley in Massachusetts garb and send him on his way. We’ll be following his adventures at our Flat Stanley Wikispace. When the Maryland Flat Stanley arrives we will take him all over Sharon and record his adventures in Sharon.
We have taken the Hawaiian Flat Stanley around Sharon and beyond! Today we will meet our collaborators from Hawaii and learn more about their daily lives.
Today you will learn how to use Google Earth. We will begin to create a tour in Google Earth of many of the places that your Flat Stanley has visited. Color code the pin with the different continents that Flat Stanley has visited.
Today we will learn about our partner class at St. John’s Elementary School in St. John, one of the Pribilof Islands, Alaska. We will exchange Flat Stanleys and share information about daily life in Sharon and St. John on a wikisite.
