K-2 Building Bridges 13-1

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. If you have not heard about Flat Classroom, please check out their website at http://flatclassroomproject.net.

Group 3: Country Day participates in Teacher Summit

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!

In celebration of our collaboration and co-creation, our groups created a Prezi sharing our Me on the Map experience.

The View from our Phuket Window

As part of the K-2 Building Bridges project we are collaborating to create a ‘View from the Window.’  Teachers and students from all groups in the project are collecting and sharing images that show the ‘views’ from our windows around the world.

At British International School, Phuket we shared a book called “Window” by Jeannie Baker then had a look out of our own classroom window.  After recording our ideas we decided to go for a walk with our class cameras and take some photos.


We found banana trees and a beautiful lady hiding in our garden…

We even found an elephant!
