Skype in the Classroom

This week, Sunnyland 4th graders will be participating in a Mystery Skype with another class in the United States!




Here is how two classes, one in California and one in New Zealand, connected via Skype! 

We can also use Skype to connect with scientists, engineers, computer programmers, authors, artists...just about anyone! 

Please comment! Who are some people we should connect with over Skype? What are some questions you would want to ask them? 

The Real Food Show!

Thank you to our marvellous PTA who brought another engaging, informative assembly to school last week.

The Real Food Show, starring Frank and Beans, is a collaboration between the Community Food Co-Op and the Bellingham Circus Guild and taught us all about healthy eating (especially at breakfast) and the benefits of being active.

The assembly began with a game show.

We learned how eating a breakfast full of sugar can give you a sugar rush.

 

But that rush often leads to a crash.

 
 Proteins are good for our brains and our muscles. 

 Vegetables are healthiest for us and should make up the largest portion of our plates. Beans could even see the vegetable portion from space!

 

With a healthy nutritious breakfast and by watching the portions of of the foods we eat, we can be ready for anything!

Over 10,000 Visits!

According to our Clustr Map, the Be Good Humans Room 12 blog has had over 10,000 since November 2010.  That is so exciting.

Take a closer look at the map to see all the places in the world where people have visited us from. From which cities in the US or from which countries have we had the most visits? (Hint, the larger the red dot, the more visits from that place.)

Mrs. Stuckart is Back!

Mrs. Stuckart has been on leave taking care of her husband, Larry, while he is being treated for cancer. Our thoughts have been with the Stuckarts in this very difficult time. We have really missed Mrs. Stuckart, and I think the students were thrilled to have her back!

Spring Flowers

The fourth graders planted bulbs last fall with Ms. Avera. They have bloomed and are so pretty and colorful.

What do you think?
