Our school theme this year is a "Global Connections" theme. Each grade level has an adopted cause and will be collaborating with students in another country via Skype and other technologies to work on our cause. Our school is decorated with space items as part of our theme. We thought, what better way to kick off our school year than by doing our first collaborative project by using recyclables to make rocket ships? We introduced researching by looking up rockets on the internet with our smart board. We checked out books from our library for reference. Four small groups worked together to make 4 very unique rockets. Each group proudly made a sign for their rocket. We concluded our project by drawing / writing about our rockets. The children had a GREAT time and worked so hard! I think we have a room full of little "inventors" and "scientists"! I can not wait to see what future collaborative projects hold after this great start!
