Halloween Pumpkin Decorating
Halloween Parade
Class 2-2 participated in this online project involving 32 classes from the U.S and Canada. The purpose of the project was for students to write original poems, stories and create graphic organizers, etc. about an aspect of Autumn. Their work is dispayed in the Online Autumn Web Page.

Thanksgiving Food Drive MindsEye Monster Exchange
Student groups and classrooms work collaboratively on a technology based language arts project. Each classroom is split into groups who then design original monster pictures. The original monster design is then described using learned writing skills. The partnered classes then exchange their descriptions via email and the WWW. These students are then challenged to use reading comprehension skills to read the descriptions and translate them into a monster picture. The true challenge involves getting a redrawn picture as close to the original as possible without looking at the original and only using the exchanged written description.
This project is in process, with more to come.

Postcard Geography

     This project is offered to classes all over the world via the Internet. Each class commits to exchanging picture postcards (purchased, computer or handmade) with all other participants.
