Hi Purti,
That sounds great! I know the festival of "Makar Sankranti" is coming soon and we are very excited to learn about it. Will it be possible for you to take pictures or videos of the kites flying, and also some pictures of your students with…
Hi! Jonnah,
How are you? This is the right time to collaborate with students in India. On January 14th every year we celebrate "Makar Sankranti" a festival where kite flying is in abundance. So i would to share the significance of this day and relat…
I am a 3rd grade teacher in Connecticut. For the past 3 years my class has made kites in the spring as part of our math curriculum. I started using kites as a way to teach measurement and symmetry, but have since expanded it to applying division and…
Hi Katherine,
A few teachers have started their research and sharing, but most of us will begin in November. Each teacher is using the project to meet their curriculum needs, but I think most of us are focusing on the time period right before or at…
Hi Julie,
I have seen the light with wikispaces! I started a wiki for sharing information about local Native American cultures, and quickly realized the benefits of having a shared platform for multiple users to add content.
So, I have started to p…
Have you started your work about local Native American history? I have developed a part of my course in the history of art under the title of North America. I need to know more about the earliest times. Please let me know what time period this group…

After experimenting with both PBworks and wikispaces, I find wikispaces easier to navigate and edit for both teachers and students. So, I have changed the wiki for the project. You can access it here.
We now have about 12 members. More are welcome!
So far there are 5 schools involved from the U.S. and Canada. I set up a wiki thorough PBworks. You can visit it here: Native Culture Wiki
The map is through Google My Maps, and the place marks should link to pages.
If you are interested in partici…
Local Native American history is a fairly common unit in grades 2-4. Some fellow 3rd grade teachers in different states (CT., IL., and southern CA.) thought it would be exciting for our students to share their learning with other classes around the…
Hi Betsye and others,
Bob certainly has a fantastic blog with a great network of partner classes. There is a growing network of elementary teachers who have class blogs (some written by the teacher, some written by students, etc.) that regularly rea…
Hi Julie,
It would be great to have your school participate in the kite project! It is very flexible and open to many ways of incorporating it into each school's curriculum (math, science, social studies, literacy, etc.). As most people believe Chin…

- Hi! Jonah,
Infact our students have started the process of making kites. we would be sending you pictures and vidoe clips of students from Grade 1 to 5 involved in this project. We would be telling you the significance of this festival, culture, tradition . By next week all the things would be uploaded.
