RES wraps up the week of Chinese 2 and grade 6 special interest videoconferences
HHS students simulate the Great Wall in China
Today was the last day of videoconferencing between the HHS Chinese 2 class and grade 6 special interest students. Five students from Rohrerstown Elementary learned simple greetings in Chinese, how to sing Happy Birthday and exercises common in Chinese classrooms from the HHS students. At the end of the event the students enjoyed Chinese candy!
We learned a lot about collaborative videoconferencing this week including planning and facilitating the event. Our HS students did fantastic adapting to the size of each class and learning from their experiences to make each day unique for the 6th grade students. We look forward to repeating this event next year and exploring other opportunities for collaboration between our high school and elementary or middle school students.
