YES! We have started our third year of collaboration.

Last year did not go as expected because Kristin was out of school for almost the entire year. Yet still we got to do something, with the help of some other teachers at Damsgård school. The highlight was probably when the students received handwritten letters from each others. Our Skype meeting was a close second. The students asked each other a lot of questions and the Norwegian students got to practice their English skills in real life.

We also used each others traditions to do some math:
By exchanging Christmas cookie recipes, the students have to convert the measurement units then bake the recipes. The only way to know if the conversion was correct, was the taste test. They converted correctly because the cookies was delicious.

We are in our third year and  new opportunities await.
Aug 2. we had a long Facetime meeting and set up a plan. It`s so great to discuss and brainstorm ideas this way.

We use Google Disk to keep our notes. And after the last meeting, we decided to  use a Padlet (padlet.com) to post our
ideas and to keep track of what to do. This will be live updated here in our blog.
