Grade 2 WES

Recently, the students in grade 2 have been creating wordles. A wordle is a “word splash” using any word typed into the program. Students adjusted the font style and layout of the wordles and then printed them to take them home. Winter wordles and Valentine wordles were sent home for students to share with their families.

2008 Mrs. Perkson’s 2nd graders at West have Pen Pals in China. This page will highlight the learning and sharing between the two classes.

6/4/08 I was able to re-submit the code for the ABC China Book and it should now be all set. If you are unable to view it below, you can view it directly from the Voicethread site, visit http://voicethread.com/share/130784/ 

———————————————————————-

It’s nearing the end of our school year and Mrs. Perkson’s students have had a wonderful time learning about China from their pen pals! They have enjoyed writing and recording messages throughout the year and wanted to say goodbye to their new friends. Please listen and enjoy their final thoughts!

 Listen to Mrs. Perkson’s class recordings of their Crayon Acrostic Poems which were written as reflections for a story the class read as part of a poetry unit. Enjoy!

Mrs. Perkson’s friend, Mrs. Cole, is a second grade teacher in China. In the fall, we received our first audio messages from our new friends from the Shanghai American School in Shanghai, China. We enjoyed listening to the greetings very much! It was our turn to respond and, right before the holiday break, we sent return messages all about us to our buddies.  For Valentine’s Day, we created rap songs about our buddies using our new iPods and voice recorders. We sent those along to let our friends know just what we thought of them! Click on the link next to each student’s name to listen the the raps. Enjoy!
