Crazy Creature

Collaborations

Grades: PreK-3                         60-min. connection

Connections Nov. 1-2 - Registration announced in Sept.

Each class will create a creature with a creepy theme. Students will then write a description of their crazy creature for their partner class to replicate. During the videoconference the classes will compare their original creatures with the replicated creatures. For 60 crazy minutes, two classrooms will be paired together for a live two-way interactive event.   Prior to meeting though, each class will create a creature with a unique creepy theme representing an imaginative idea about a creature in the spirit of fall holiday fun! Students will then write a description of their “crazy creature” for a partner-class to replicate by sending ONLY the description via e-mail, U.S. Mail or Fax to the partner teacher at a TWICE member school. Both classes will meet via videoconference to compare their original “creatures” with the replicated “creatures” to see if the Creepy Creature Collaboration was a success.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow! Is it really true that no two snowflakes are alike? Investigating the intricacies of an

individual flake and learning about such things as how American artists have depicted the beauty and wonder of snow and

ice in paintings and photographs, to the mathematical and scientific composition of snowflakes can be fascinating.
