Ruskin Elementary 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade WINGS students
recently participated in a collaborative learning project with
The Armenian Sister’s Academy in Radnor, Pennsylvania. The focus
of this collaboration was to further develop writing and
technology skills. In an initial videoconference, students
introduced themselves and discussed plans for this project.
Following their plans, students in both classes created snowmen
using their choice of everyday classroom materials or by using a
computer graphic design program. Then, students in both classes
exchanged only the instructions for recreating their snowman
design. In the final videoconference, students shared the
snowmen they recreated following another student’s instructions.
Ruskin students agreed that this experience helped them realize
the importance of writing clearly and precisely and will be
helpful as they complete science projects on various topics. In
this photo are (L-R) Libby Ferrari, Bryce Young, Lexi Crawford,
Taylor Tuten, Amelia Hiott, Adriana Noya, and Emily Thrift
looking on as a student from ASA presents the snowman he
recreated and asks if anyone can recognize whose design he
followed. Kathy Stevens is the principal at Ruskin Elementary
School.
