Field Trip to Erie
BubbleShare: Share photos - Easy Photo Sharing
The Global Gorillas went on a field trip to Erie. They learned about a ship called the Brig Niagara. The Niagara was built in 1811. It was in the war of 1812, and it was built over five times. In the bottom of the ship there was 70 people sleeping. The U.S. won the battle because we had 2 ships, and that made it hard for the British. The British ship had more ammunition, but the U.S. pulled it together and won.
The Global Gorillas went inside of the museum and got to put Zachery, Spencer, and my heads in a replica of the Brig Niagara. We got to see a movie about the battle on Lake Erie. Plus I got to see where the canon balls from the British ship hit the Niagara. Plus we got to see how they lift up from the wind to block it. When I get older I want to work for them.

Leprechaun Traps
Today the Gorillas video conferenced with Mrs. Blazosky's (Room B7) first grade students. Room B7 wrote stories and made Leprechaun traps that they wanted to share with us. The traps were extremely creative and the stories were fabulous. Here are a few shots from our skype conference.

Class Literature Circles
Every month Mrs. Abernethy's Global Gorillas read different books. Then every week they do a project about their books. They present their projects to the whole class! It's so amazing to see all the fantastic work the class puts into their literature circle projects. Students sit on a red chair called the hot seat to present their projects. The way they present them makes it fantastic to watch. Some students in the class are shy and they don't speak very loud. I don't know what they have to be shy about. Projects are presented every Friday! Students must put their name, their book's title, and their book's author on the projects. Please check out our Literature Circle Blog to view some projects! There are some example below. Bye!!!!
