This last week, Mrs. Sally Craddock and myself, conducted a Skype session to allow our children to discuss what they had learned about birds. We broke down the the type of birds that were studied, and then partnered up our kids to talk over the computer. It was very interesting and the kids LOVED doing it! Here is just one of the few things that were discussed:
I would love to continue this with other elementary schools (both in SBISD and across the United States) as it can open a world of 21st century learners participating in collaborative learning! Going Global is COOL!

Beetles
Hi all! Mark your calendars for May 12th @ 2:00 PM. We are scheduled to have a Vidyo Conference with Dr. Pearson (Arizona State University) on Beetles!
We touched on this topic a little bit but never dived in - so, here we go! Get ready to jump in with Beetles!
The Zoom Gallery at Ask a Biologist is an awesome resource for kids to see up close and personal with beetles! I encourage everyone to check it out - it is intriguing!
On another note - I never knew that the Praying Mantis was more powerful than a beetle! Interesting!!!

Trading Cards
Here are a few that were created today! We are planning to share them with Frostwood Elementary and also with our friends, Dr. Pearson & Dr. Kazelik with Arizona State University!
I'm so proud of these kids for: find a picture to use; typing their description in Microsoft Word; Pasting their information & uploading it to www.bighugelabs.com; saving their trading card; and finally adding them into an attachment to email to me! My class is so clever and SMART!
