Recently we had a surprise Skype call from Ms. Adams' class in New Hampshire. They had moon rocks in their classroom and wanted to show them to us.
The students in Ms. Adams' class were very articulate. Besides showing us the rocks in their plastic container, they showed us a model of the Saturn V rocket that went to the moon to collect the rocks, showed us how the moon goes around the earth, and the special case that the moon rocks travel in.
Thank you for helping us to learn, Ms. Adams' class. You were good teachers!

A horrible thing has been growing on the wall outside of our classroom. Together with Mr. Silversides' class, we have been participating in The Monster Project. There are thirty-eight classrooms from nine countries participating in this project. First, each classroom was asked to write a twelve word description for one body part. We wrote a description for the hair. Next, each classroom had to build a monster using all of the descriptions that had been written. Our next project is to think up a name for our monster. It should be a name that describes him. Can you help us out? What do you think we should call our monster?

We have. Nothing tastes as good as the Carmello Koalas we received from Ms. Marrinan, the teacher of the 2M Gems in Brisbane. She also gave us a book called Wombat Stew. It's a wonderful story about a lot of animals we do not have in Canada. We chanted and giggled our way through it. Thanks, Ms Marrinan! We loved the chocolates.
Since our first blog posts this year, the wonderful Gems have been commenting on our blog. Thank you, Gems, for being part of our learning.

To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the publication of Eric Carle's book The Very Hungry Caterpillar, our class did a reader's theatre production of this famous book with a class of first graders from Gadsden, Alabama. The Skype video recording is fuzzy, but there was some amazing reading for so early in the school year. Well done!
