Today is the first day of Our World, Our Stories, a global project we are participating in.
Over the next seven weeks we will be sharing and collaborating with other classes from all over the world. Each week there will be a different topic for us to share about. We have a special blog where we will make posts and leave comments for each other. This week the topic is, “A Typical School Day“.
There are seven classes involved in the project:
Mrs Watson’s 2/3 class from Canada
2KM and 2KJ from Victoria, Australia
B4 from New Zealand
Mrs Yollis’ third grade class from California, USA
Mr Salsich’s third grade class from Connecticut, USA
Andy Sefa Boachie and his students from Kumasi, Ghana
Miss Usher’s standard 3 class from Punta Gorda, Belize
We are very excited about making new friends from different parts of the world and learning about their lives. We hope that you will visit the Our World, Our Stories blog and share in the learning with us.

Dear Tess,
Thank you so much for visiting our blog. We love to visit other blogs too and see what school is like for other kids around the world. We would love if you could tell us more about your school and where you live.

Well!! Back in my day…
I was raised on a lighthouse. No phone at all, not even a rotary dialed phone. No television. No computers (not even dreamed of yet). Schoolwork was distance education around the kitchen table. We called it ‘correspondence’. We sent it out and got our marked work back…once a month!
That made a two month lag in the time we did the work, and the time we got it back to see if there were any errors or corrections required. Basically, long since forgotten.
And now – you can communicate with others in any part of the world, instantly! Boo, hiss, I say to those who wish for the good ol’ days! Bring on the new technology! You are a more informed generation, and better for it!
Good stuff.

Dear Graminator,
Thank you for another fantastic comment! When we read your comment in class many of the students didn’t know what a rotary phone was. Things certainly have changed quickly.
We also decided that two months is a very long time to find out how you did on your school work. Did you like doing correspondence?
We love new technology too!
