Comparing Our Schools

Our blogging friends in Mrs. W’s P-3 class in Australia posted a Voicethread of their school like the one we made last month. It is very interesting to see how our schools are the same and how they are different. Here are the Voicethreads from both schools:

Here are some of the interesting things we found out when comparing our schools:
*We both have really nice playgrounds, but the students in P-3 have a cover over part of theirs for shade from the sun.
*They have an area to eat outside and we eat inside.
*They hang their back packs outside and we hang ours up in the classroom.
*They have a beautiful garden garden area
*We both have school bells, but theirs is much older than ours is.
*We call our grassy area a field and they call theirs an oval.
*They play footy on their oval and we play soccer.

We are so glad that Mrs. W and her class made a Voicethread!

A New Project

Our class is participating in the Elementary Voicethreads Wiki http://elementaryvoicethreads.wikispaces.com/ .  Students from around the world will be participating by taking pictures of their schools and creating  Voice Threads like the one we have.  We will be able to take virtual tours of the other school and leave comments.  The students took their own pictures with the school camera and decided what they would like to say.  The students really enjoyed this project.  We will be using Voice Thread again soon!
