Roanoke Island: Our stop motion

That's the end of our Social Science Unit about the Colonization of North America. We worked very hard to prepare the stop motion and we learnt a lot.

We hope you enjoy it!

The Giant's Causeway and the Legend of Finn McCool


NG kids 

In the classroom we are studing the Giant’s Causeway, we know that there were two giants:
Finn Mccool from Ireland and Fingal from Scotland.
The legend says that Fingal made the Giant’s Causeway throwing rocks to return to Scotland.
But the scientists say that there was a volcano and it erupts.

Epals

This term the sixth graders are starting an ePals project within a safe, protected on line environment: ePals Global Community. 

ePals Global Community is a world's network of K-12 classrooms, enabling students and teachers to safely connect and collaborate with classrooms in more than 200 countries and territories.

Each student is going to have two epals. I want them to use English as a communicative language and learn about different English-speaking countries and their cultures.

These are the profiles of the two schools I chose:

one in Australia


 and the other in the USA.


Today students started answering the first mails they got from their epals in Kentucky and introducing themselves to the Australian ones. They were really excited!

Good luck with your epals and enjoy this new experience!
