Our Crull class did something exciting; we met up with a 3rd grade class in a different state. We had a little trivia guessing game; we had to try to guess where they were from by them giving us clues, and vice versa. This was an exciting experience with a different class. We had fun doing this activity with these third grade friends, they seemed pretty excited too! We did this little program through the wonderful app, Skype. We learned a lot from where they live and they learned about our state, it was very fun!
For March is Reading month, I have asked the families of our students to join us via google hangout and read us their favorite picture book. I have also asked fellow educators and community members to hangout with us! Today we had Michael Medvinsky read his favorite book "Pete the Cat Rocking in my School Shoes" by Eric Litwin. Mr. Medvinsky is a middle school teacher in the Bloomfield Hills School District and a very engaging reader. If you are interesting in "Google Hangout" with us, please let me know! Mrs. Serazin Today we had an author, Lane Walker, visit our second through fifth grade students. Mr. Walker is a Michigan principal and children's author. He has three published adventure novels that are set in nature. Prior to his visit to Crull Elementary, our fantastic friends at Literacy and Beyond (LAB) bought every student in grades second through fifth a copy of one of Mr. Walkers three adventure novels. Mr. Walker presented to students during a 45 minute assembly about how they can do anything they put their minds to. It was high energy, and had our students laughing, dancing, and excited to learn! Thank you to Mr. Walker and LAB for bringing us this amazing experience for our students. At Crull we had a special guest, Genot Picor, who is an expert in Port Huron Native American history. He visited the third and fifth graders, telling traditional tales, showing authentic Native American artifacts, dressing students in wool and animal skins, and answering questions. Thank you Genot Picor for visiting us!
