Seasons Around the World and VoiceThread

Here is the first installment of the Seasons Around the World VT, which is part of the Global Classroom project.  Classrooms grade K - 3 can join anytime.  Please check out Deb Frazier's blog, Primary Perspectives,  for tutorials and more information on using VoiceThread in the classroom.  Educators can get a free account.  You can also view my class website to see how we have used VT so far this year.

Global Classroom: Seasons Around the World VoiceThread Project

As part of the Global Classroom Project, my second graders are creating a VoiceThread called Seasons Around the World.  We are inviting other K-3 classrooms to join us!  Each season we will observe the changes in our natural world.  We will follow and observe a deciduous tree in our school yard.  We will collect data on temperature and sunrise/sunset times.  Our goals are to share and compare our seasonal observations and data with classrooms around the world.  How are the seasons around the world the same?  How are they different?  Why do the seasons change? If you would like to participate in this project by sharing your seasonal observations on our VoiceThread I invite you to join the Global Classroom Project.  For more information you can tweet me @DebraRosenquist or go to the Global Classroom Wiki.  You can also leave a comment on this blog!
