Hi, Nancy. Was late getting home as I had to stay and make sub plans for tomorrow. My guy, Rob, in having surgery tomorrow, so I won't be at school. #4thchat
Without AC in our building, I'm not so eager for the 90 degrees back but it could be a little more early fall-like! haha! We are supposed to go back into the 80s later this week! #4thChat
A1: We celebrate Constitution Day next Monday! It will be my first year in charge, since I am teaching Social Studies this year, too! Also, #DotDay is one of our favorites! #4thChat
A1: i always try to do #DotDay and we participate in @jenwagner ’s O.R.E.O. Project, the Global Read Aloud, the Cardboard Challenge to name a few. #4thchat
Looks like they will be doing this "The United Nations Education Outreach Section will hold a global student videoconference on the same day, from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.," Not sure how to get involved. We could start a #4thchat Peace Day.
A2: Of course we read The Dot by @peterhreynolds, then we do dot related activities. We love creating dot patterns for math, creating pictures with dots, using the Quiver app to make our dot float off the paper (AR), and playing Twister. #4thchat
Globalization personified: Our book Connecting Your Students with the World: Tools and Projects to Make Global Collaboration Come Alive, K-8 https://t.co/EaCmNN8Ayv has activities for each season of the year. Written by @plnaugle@wkrakower@cybraryman1#4thchat
A2: We love doing #DotDay activities with younger students in the building! Usually 1st or 2nd graders will come visit and my ss will lead them through some activities! #4thChat
You can do as little or as much as you'd like. I think I started by reading the book & "Making our Mark". Then I found another class (@plnaugle) to share them with via GHO #4thchat
A3: Write a classroom or grade level Constitution, debate which Founding Father was the most important, create a collage showing what life was like when the Constitution was written. #4thchat

Q4: Projects by Jen (@jenwagner) have inspired many Ss & Ts over the years. Celebrate 19 yrs w/ the OREO Project. Do you think your class will be able to participate? (Sept 10-Oct.19) #4thchat
Great ideas, Paula. I love the "classroom constitution" idea. Kids will learn how it takes patience, cooperation & compromise when working in a large group - just like the real constitution. #4thchat
My students and I have participated in the O.R.E.O. Project since 2004. One of my all-time favorites. Looking forward to stacking competitions via GHO and playing @GetKahoot too during the project. #4thchat
One year when we went to Plimoth Plantation we had @wkrakower on skype...his students were asking the Pilgrims questions. Love the #virtualfieldtrips! #4thchat
Q5: Each year there are opportunities to participate in global activities through GlobalEdCon. What are some benefits for having you/your students participate in something like #globaled18 (September 17-21st) #4thchat
We did the OREO project one year (no more food allowed). Love the Holiday Card Exchange! #4thchat Kids look forward to receiving the cards in the mail!
A5: One year we participated by listening to a student presentation by @lookforsun and her students. Lots of benefits to Ss - they see that folks all over the world are learning together. #4thchat
That's just amazing...it's a window into another world for these kids! Way to go Tammy for providing that valuable experience for your students. #4thchat
Yes, those are the kind of activities they remember down the road. Mine love connecting via Google Hangouts. One of our fav activities is to play a game of @GetKahoot against 3 or 4 other classes around the country. #4thchat
Here are the books that have been selected for the 2018 Global Read Aloud #GRA18 and other info to help you get started. https://t.co/5qVhF7szvK#4thchat
Unlimited. I have my students play as teams (3 to a team), They sign into the @GetKahoot game which has been set to team Mode as Naugle Team 1, Naugle Team 2, etc. The other classes log in with their Team names and then I run the game through a GHO. #4thchat
Since I'm teach math and science this year, I'm have my students design roller coasters. They are also encouraged to build a chair that can support them out of cardboard. #4thchat
