An Authentic learning opportunity…

Great news!  An international communication project started this month with Ms. Y’s grade 6’s in Northern Saskatchewan. My grade 6 students are vlogging (video blogging), commenting, in addition to writing letters and postcards to our friends back in Canada. Just this week another opportunity has arose where one of my classes will be vlogging buddies with Ms. Senyk’s grade 3 class in Melville Saskatchewan.  (It has actually worked well as this one class has not been introduced to Ms. Y’s class as since the project started they haven’t had class, class has been canceled or the school day ended early). In short this means classes won’t be falling behind and means more videos to watch! This means I will have two separate classes to communicate with in Canada… two sets of videos to shoot, edit and produce and of course share! For this reason I have created another blog for the purpose of communicating with both Ms. Y’s and Ms. Senyk’s classes. If you would like to follow my grade 6’s authentic English learning journey please check out our blog! We will be posting our video’s, updating our blog and staying in contact with our Canadian friends this way. It is also a place you as a reader can express your opinion, answer our questions and provide us with a different point of view on various different topics.  
Thanks for reading! Be sure to check back soon for an overview of my recent adventures in South Korea.
