Video Conference with Ms. Parra's GT Class
This Halloween, the 4th and 5th grade students has a Monster Exchange project with the GT students in Ms. Parra's class at Cielo Vista Elementary. We created original creatures, and send her classes written descriptions. In return, they sent us descriptions of their creatures, which we had to use to recreate their creations. The results were surprisingly close! It was a great opportunity for our students to interact with other GT students in the district, and great use of our video conferencing equipment. We hope to set up more projects in the near future.
