5th Grade Students Collaborate with BHE Students!

Students in 5^th grade are working on a collaborative science project with 5^th graders from Holland Elementary. The project entails JRE students researching a famous landform such as the Grand Canyon or Mississippi River delta. Students then writing about their discoveries in a Google Slides presentation which was shared with a partner at Bonnie Holland Elementary. The BHE students are researching different examples of famous landforms and putting their information in the same Google Slides presentation. Once completed, students will present the whole project to their classes.

 

Google Slides also allows the students to communicate through the ‘comments’ feature which students say is like texting back and forth. This communication allows them to effectively collaborate on their projects and give feedback to each other as they are working in real time.

 

Emma R. says about the project, “I like that we get to communicate with our partners. We get to do our part, they get to do their part, and it comes together at the end.”

 

The students and teachers are both enjoying the collaboration between the schools. Every day the students are eager to see what progress their partner has made.
