Hey Shannon, I think we can whatever grade we want, I don't believe we have to all do the same. That is fine if you want to do the powerpoint. I will do a poster or report or something so thats fine. I think 3rd grade is a good grade to do no matter what becasue this way they can write a report or do a powerpoint, so I think I am going to do 3rd grade as well, maybe 4th. Hope your lesson plans are going good and everyone have a great weekend. See you on Monday!

Hello Girls,
For the lesson plan assignment do we all have to do the same grade? Because I was thinking of having my students doing a powerpoint and I know Sharon said that only one of us could do a powerpoint. If one of you would rather do it that is fine and I will have my students do a poster or something :) Also, I was thinking 3rd grade? Let me know!

Updated Pen Pals
Hawaiian Pen Pals
Who are the students your students will communicate with?
Our students will be Pen Pals with third grade students in Honolulu, Hawaii.
When will your students be in contact with their pen pals?
At the beginning to meet our pen-pals and gather the information about the flowers in Hawaii.
We will keep in touch during so they can follow what we are doing.
We will also be in contact at the end to say "thank-you," and explain our findings to the Hawaiian class.
What questions would they ask? What info would they share?
1. Are flowers important to your culture?
-What do you use them for?
-What do they represent?
2. What is your state flower?
-What does it look like?
-Is it native to Hawaii?
-Can it be grown else where?
-How expensive is it to purchase?
3.What type of weather do you have?
-Rain?
-Snow?
-Hot?
-Dry?
-Cold?
-Windy?
--Do they grow in the sunlight better, or the shade?
4. What kind of native flowers do you have?
-What climate do they need to be in to survive?
-What do they look like?
-How many different types do you have?
5. What type of soil do you have?
-What nutrients is it rich in?
-What nutrients does it lack in?
-Dry?
-Moist?
-What flowers can you grow successfully there?
-Is fertilizer needed?
6. Do you buy flower seeds or get them from your own wild flowers?
-Where do you buy them?
-What types of flowers do they sell?
-Are they expensive?
Our students would answer these same questions about our area.
What will they do with the information they will get from the other students?
Our students will split up into groups of 4 students (5 if needed) and focus on one question in particular. For instance, one group will take the first question, another group will take question number 2, so on and so forth. In addition to this, the students who are focusing on question one from the Hawaiian Pen pals, will also be responsible for answering the same question about our area. Once they have answered their information for the Hawaiian Pen pals, they are to take the information they received from their pen pals and make a poster or PowerPoint to present their information with the rest of the class.

Hey Girls!
Colleen the changes look great, thanks for doing that and I hope you are feeling better.
Shannon I think we should do nurseries around here as well as Hawaii. I think thats a good idea. Or if we don't want to do both I think we should for sure do ones around Hawaii. Hope everyone has a good weekend and see you on Monday!

Hello :)
Hey I can't really do anything until I get the e-mail to add to Google Maps and Google Documents, but I can definitely map the Nurseries around Hawaii. I looked at the Google Document and just added to a couple things, I think you guys did a really good job! Here's what I added, but I can edit the question when I get the e-mail.

Google Map
Hey,
So I have been thinking about the google map we have to make to go along with Hawaiian Pen Pals. I think that we should do a map of Garden Nurseries around our area. I think that we should do one for Hawaii to, although I do not know if Sharon wants on of thier area too. Let me know what you think.
Colleen-
Thanks for your gmail address. I will try and put you in as a group member for the Hawaiin Pen Pals :)
