Collaborative project based on the book The Dot (I have a copy of the book). Might make an interesting writing/art project.

Project starting April 22.

This project is supposed to be a simulated business for selling friendship bracelets, but I could see it as a real fundraiser for a Kiva Club.

This would work great, and because it's not food, they could sell them at lunch/recess at two different time slots.

Want to do this? Global Garden project-deadline to sign up is December 31.

I definitely do. Sounds fun.

I watched a webinar with Bill Ferriter and his students a few weeks ago. They talked about how they've been using Kiva.org for class project for a few years now. It was totally amazing. You can't watch the webinar without paying now, but he linked to all his resources here. I would be up for doing this as 3rd/5th collaboration if anyone's interested!

I saw that you had commented on twitter and watched most of it! Shoot, I didn't know you'd have to pay later. I would love to do a collaboration project. I saw that Kiva.org last year, but could never figure out how to fit it in, or make it work with just 3rd grade. I'll look again at these resources. What are you thinking about for a timeline?

Ok, now I see what on Earth Kiva club is from the friendship bracelet post. Thought I'd just forgotten. ;) I love the concept. If we could "dig deeper" and unwrap the whole thing, I'd love it!

Bugscope project. I'm going to apply to do this in the spring. You can view other classes' sessions if you don't want to do it yourself.

Mystery Class starts January 28! Great longterm project integrating math (especially elapsed time), science, reading and research skills. Click on "Teachers", then "Advice from Participating Teachers", to see tips for adjusting for various grade levels.

This is one part of the Journey North project. Children send and receive a handmade butterfly from a child in Mexico! It's pretty detailed, lots to do.

This would probably be a good one to go with our 2nd story - Pepita Talks Twice. The new stuff for 2012-2013 isn't posted yet, but it looks like it starts in September maybe?

I wonder if any of these are free. I don't have an ipad, have you guys seen these? Any good?

This could be fun, if we remember to register for Spring

Another project for the beginning of the year?

I signed up for this. It sounds touching and interesting!

GRA books for this year-Charlotte's Web for K-3. 

Visually explore geography and history of world landmarks.

They haven't picked the book yet, but I thought I'd tag this now so I don't forget.

Looks ridiculously awesome...but I'm terrified to do it, haha
