Today is the 200th birthday of President Lincoln. I have been looking forward to this day since the summer. As part of the celebration, all the fourth and fifth graders at Susnet Ridge School are putting on a wonderful assembly. Along with the assembly we have collaborated together on voicethread to talk about what we have learned about the President. Mr. Hope’s class is participating in a collaboration with Water’s Edge Elementary in Palm Beach, Florida. Additionally, we are all saying the famous “Gettysburg Address” at 9:30CDT as part of the Guinness Book of World Records. I can’t wait to see all the students in their red, white, and blue – singing their hearts out. Students have also created movies and other tech projects as part of the assembly. The main website for hosting all these things is lincoln212.pbwiki.com You can see the voicethreads, links to the movies and other important information concerning President Lincoln. Happy 200th!

I am really excited about the new project that Sunset Ridge fifth graders are starting concerning the 200th birthday of Abraham Lincoln. My PLN comes through again! I noticed a plurk that a technology director was looking for a fifth grade class to collaborate using voicethread. I didn’t really have this project in mind, but after talking to Mr. David Fisher from Boca Raton via skype, we instantly connected and will develop a voicethread KWL together. Additionally, there will an assembly on February 12 at 8:30-9:30 at Sunset Ridge. The fifth graders will sing and perform American songs and learn the Gettysburg’s Address. We are looking to skype with the class and have them part of our assembly.
