I was checking what we had to do this week and there is a lot. First we each have to make a movie based on a concept in our big project. My movie is going to be about clouds. How about you girls? what are you doing?

Second we have to write a paper together. It is based on how to incorporate cultural ties with the project. Who are our students going to work with in a different part of the world? We have to write this in Google Docs.

And Last we have to make a Google maps for our project of where our students are going to be working with the other students.

We can do this, but we need to be checking our blog more than once daily and making sure we are all doing our part. It's hard to work in a group and accomplish our goals if we aren't checking the blog and responding. :)

Website Evaluations

here are the three websites I have evaluated: http://www.weatherwizkids.com/weather-temperature.htm ,http://eo.ucar.edu/webweather/ , and http://www.historyforkids.org/scienceforkids/physics/weather/temperature.htm let me know if I need to help find more websites :)

Grade for our Project

Hey girls! I started writing my lesson plan and realized we didn't choose a grade for our project. I am writing for 1st grade. I hope that is okay with you both. :)

Concept Map

I agree the map looks really nice! Thank you for taking all the time to correct and add our ideas!! Weather Forecast is a great one to do...Please make correction of putting that as the center and then reposting the final concept map so we can get our full points
