Science Champions!

Our #1 Scorer!
Back in March, my class competed in the World Education Games.  This annual competition is a Global Online Event open to all schools and students around the world.Today we received official word and a beautiful country that we scored 7th in the world in the World Science Day competition for our age division. Over 1.5 million students competed in the World Education Games this year!

The students in my class all participated during the school day and many also continued competing at home that evening. Everyone did very well and we had a lot of fun! It's pretty amazing that the students are actually competing against other students close to their age in real time, all over the world. 

We actually finished in second place in our age division in the United States! Congratulations students, on this incredible victory! 

Twitter Chat

We had a blast today participating in our first class Twitter Chat! We tweeted with other elementary classes all around the United States and Canada playing "Name That Toy."

We learned some of the Twitter lingo and that we need to keep each tweet to 140 characters (or less). Students enjoyed the challenge of figuring out what toys other classrooms were tweeting clues for.
