Our class is very lucky to have started quad blogging with three other classrooms in Canada and the United States. We each take a turn commenting on each other's blogs and learning about what excites and interests us about learning. We are very fortunate to have Mrs. Horst in Burlington, Ontario, Mrs. Sather from Montana, U.S.A. and Mrs. Simmons in Columbus, Ohio participating with us. We have already visited two of their classrooms as a class, and we have already learned so much!
We learned that despite how far away our classrooms may be, there are many things that we have in common! We are all "kind kids" and learning "experts" like Mrs. Sather's class, and "artists" and "heroes" like Mrs. Horst's class. We can't wait to visit Mrs. Simmon's class at the end of the month and to see what connections we can find with them as well.
This is a journey that will help us to become better readers, writers and communicators. This opportunity allows us to open our doors to become more comfortable learning from others from afar. We are widening our circle of friends and we all know that some of our best learning comes from our experiences with friends!
Please read Mrs. Horst`s thought-provoking blog about the importance of learning through technology.

Hello Mrs. Jinks' class! We are so happy to be quad blogging with you! This has already been a wonderful adventure, and it's just beginning. Our first connection with you is that we both share the Canada/US border. We aren't quite as close as you are, but we are only 50 miles away. Your blog is amazing! We are so excited to explore it! We are thrilled to be on "a journey that will help us to become better readers, writers and communicators" with you!
ReplyDeleteHave fun learning!
