We all love our moms and think they are the best!
Here are just some of the things that make them so special.

More Geometry
We’ve almost finished our geometry unit. Check your child’s blog for some learning reflections such as the ones below.
Videos Just For Us
Rebecca Baranowsky, an education student at the University of Regina, has made two videos recently…just for us! The students loved them, so I am sharing them here. Thanks, Rebecca!
First, a story about Harry and Horsie…
And then a video to help us learn to count by 2’s…
Two New Snow Clothes Challengers
These two classes of students also took our Snow Clothes Challenge. The are fast (and cute)!
First, from Fruit Cove, Florida:
And then from Ontario, Canada:
Any other challengers out there?
Our First Challenger
Ms. DeGroot’s class in Spirit Lake, Iowa is our first snow clothes challenger!
A Classroom From New Zealand
A classroom from New Zealand has sent us a video tour of their classroom in response to the video tour we made of our classroom. We will get to meet these students via Skype later this week!
Other Classrooms Give Us A Tour
This week, two other classes who saw our classroom tour video sent us videos of their classroom.
First, we received this video from a French Immersion class in St. Catherines, Ontario.
We loved trying to figure out what they were saying. We heard a few words that we knew!
Another class, in Williston, Vermont made this tour for us.
We talked to this class in Williston on Skype today and found out that they have a LOT of things in common with our class.
More Snow Clothes Challengers
Two more groups have participated in our snow clothes challenge. We love all these videos!
A group of college students took our challenge and were very fast, but my students were quick to point out that they did not have to put on ski pants, a very time-consuming part of getting dressed.
A class from the eastern United States also sent us a video.
Introducing…A Class From Germany
Last week we posted a video tour of our classroom. Below is a video that was made for us by Mrs. Schmidt’s Owl class in Burbach, Germany to show us what their classroom looked like. (Actually, Mrs. Schmidt’s class made their video before Christmas. She and I had discussed doing this and they were so keen that they did it right away.) We think they speak English very well!
Twitter in Our Classroom
I’ve posted a few times about how we are using Twitter to help us to learn. The video below gives a little bit more insight into exactly what we are doing with it to make it a learning tool that works for us.
