This week will be our kick off for the K-2 global project from Flat Classroom. I am excited to join this project as the lead teacher. I have lead the 3-5 A Week in the Life project for the last two projects and really enjoy the problem solving involved with creating content across the globe. I love seeing how students eyes are widened by their experiences with other classrooms. I look forward to experimenting with younger grades in this endeavor.

This Thursday, Flat Classroom teachers participated in a Teacher Summit to celebrate and share the reflections we have looking back on our Building Bridges to Tomorrow K-2 Project. We loved sharing about our love of Montessori education and integration of technology into our program. Here are some great photos of our students from Turkey and Florida creating and sharing through mail!<br />

This was our first class exploration into the Web 2.0 world and we LOVED it!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><b>VoiceThread</b> proves to be an easy and fun tool that young children can use with limited adult support.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It can be integrated into a regular classroom routine in a number of ways including:</div>

This week students from all four classes across the globe read the same story <u>Me on the Map</u> by Joan Sweeney and then all the students created the same art project. Each project answered the same questions, but with each school filling in their own geographical information starting with "Me on the Map", city, state, country, continent, and then planet. It was interesting to see that though we live in different places, we all live together on Earth! <br />

1. Go to <a href="http://www.blogger.com">www.blogger.com</a> and make sure you are signed in.

This week in Flat Classroom, we had students locate our new friends' locations and find out several types of information:<br />
1. temperature in F<br />
2. weather<br />
3. time<br />
4. time zone<br />
<br />
We were surprised to find that Hong Kong was the warmest of the four cities. We were not shocked to see that Minnesota had the coldest temperatures. Mrs. Metka gave a Montessori lesson on time zones using a flashlight to represent the sun and a globe to represent Earth. This shows how one side of the Earth is bright from the Earth's light, but the other side is in darkness at night!<br />
