Brenda Keller replied to Jonah Salsich's discussion elementary level Native American collaboration"Hi, I teach 4th grade in Ca and our curr. is heavy into the Native American groups in CA and how they used the environment.

Jonah Salsich replied to Jonah Salsich's discussion elementary level Native American collaboration"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!"
"Good to hear from you! I haven't had a chance to check this site out yet, but I definitely will!"
Jonah Salsich replied to Jonah Salsich's discussion elementary level Native American collaboration"Glad to have you join us Meg! It will be neat to see the similarities and difference between the Eastern Woodland tribes of CT. and VA., and then compare that to the others from around North America."
Jonah Salsich replied to Lori Mustille's discussion SKYPE buddies needed in 3rd, 4th, 5th grades"Hi Lori,
Once the year gets going (mid-October?) my 3rd grade class could start with lit circles and take it from there. We do a lot of projects and collaboration already so I don't want to promise more than that for now. I know at least one…"

Jonah Salsich replied to Jonah Salsich's discussion elementary level Native American collaboration"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…"
