Recently, we’ve had several students from Cairo commenting on our blog posts.
I’d like for our students to return the favor and visit Mr. Gary’s class blog.

Please remember to be thoughtful and respectful in your comments.

Here is the interactive website we looked at in class that shows the relative scale of things in the universe…small to humongous!

Here is the classroom blog for Mr. McLoughlin’s Year 5 (5th grade) class in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England:

He and his students also presented using Skype during Mr. Joe Dale’s session today in England. I contacted Mr. McLoughlin on Twitter and we are talking about having a Skype session between our two classes sometime very soon. Until then, read his students’ blog posts and make high quality, respectful comments on what they have written.
