Mrs. Yollis' class from California is friends with Mr. Salsich's class in Connecticut. These classes are blogging buddies and Skyped back in November.
On Friday, the two classes got together to share about their paperless classroom experiences which you can read about here and here.
The classes also enjoyed singing some songs with Mr. B.
Three it's a magic number
Yes it is, it's a magic number
Because two times three is six
And three times six is eighteen
And the eighteenth letter in the alphabet is R
We've got three R's we're going to talk about today
We've got to learn to
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
If you're going to the market to buy some juice
You've got to bring your own bags and you learn to reduce your waste
And if your brother or your sister's got some cool clothes
You could try them on before you buy some more of those
Reuse, we've got to learn to reuse
And if the first two R's don't work out
And if you've got to make some trash
Don't throw it out
Recycle, we've got to learn to recycle,
We've got to learn to
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Because three it's a magic number
Yes it is, it's a magic number
3, 3, 3
3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30, 33, 36
33, 30, 27, 24, 21, 18, 15, 12, 9, 6, and
3, it's a magic number
We then enjoyed singing This Land is Your Land and You're a Grand Old Flag.
At the end, Mr. Salsich's class sang a solo with Mr. B.
Mr. Salsich's students were on the Atlantic coast and Mr. B. was on the Pacific coast.
It was difficult because of a slight Skype delay. But they did it!

The two classes enjoyed discussing what they liked about the paperless day:
- Both classes enjoyed using the whiteboards instead of paper.
- A student from Mr. Salsich's class liked that there was no noise from a pencil sharpener all day!
- Mrs. Yollis' class liked the idea of paperless homework!
Thank you to our scribes (Sydney, Jaxon, Kendall, and Ben) and our photographer. (Ethan)
What did you like about the connection?
How did you like singing together from opposite coasts?

Dear Mrs. Yollis,
ReplyDeleteI thought having music with Mrs. Ranney's class and Mr. Salsich's class was really fun because Mr. B. had to play the guitar fast and slow because there was a one second delay.
My favorite part about it was meeting Mr. Salsich's class because they were in lots of movies and we got to recognize them and their voices. I thought it was really funny how Matteo said, " That makes me really happy!" because he was Perezoso in the sloth video and we remembered him.
Sincerely,
Nick
P.S. Great Post!

Dear Mrs. Yollis,
ReplyDeleteIt was fun singing with Mr. B, Mrs. Ranney's class and Mr. Salsich's class. It's amazing how with skpe we can sing a song from different borders. My favorite part was when Mr. B kind of slowed the song down.

Dear Mrs. Yollis,
ReplyDeleteI loved singing with the opposite sides of the U.S. It was kind of funny that there was a slight delay and Mr. B had to speed up and slow down. I hope we do that again.

Dear Mrs. Yollis,
ReplyDeleteI can't believe we can sing with Mr. Salsich's class from another state! That is just unbelievable!
I also really enjoyed singing with Mr. B and Mr. Salsich's class. My favorite song that we sang was the 3Rs song!
Sincerely,
Kayla ;D
Dear Mrs. Yollis,
ReplyDeleteIt was so fun to Skype with Mr. Salsich and his class because we got to share about what we liked about Earth Day. I also liked to sing with Mr. B. I was so surprised that Mr. Salsich's class knew the other songs we sang.

Dear Mrs. Yollis,
ReplyDeleteIt was awesome when we skyped with Mr. Salsich's class, and sang. That's a really fun song. When can we do it again?

Dear Mrs. Yollis,
ReplyDeleteI loved singing with Mr. B. My favorite song we sang was "You're a Grand Old Flag". When we sang "3rs" with Mr. B it was different than when we sang with just our class because the song sounded different. Did you enjoy singing with Mr. B and Mr. Salsich?
Sincerely,
Caleb

Dear Mrs. Yollis,
ReplyDeleteIt was fun Skyping with Mr. Salsich's class! I liked when we got to meet the whole class. Then we got to introduce ourselves, and waiting for Mr. B to come. I loved singing with Mr. Salsich and his class. My favorite song was You're a Grand Old Flag. I love that song because that is about the American flag. =)

Dear Mrs. Yollis' Class,
ReplyDeleteWhat another great educational and socialization experience for the class! I wish I had Skype back when I was in 3rd grade, but I feel like I'm learning new experiences along with your class. Thank you for sharing. The 3Rs Song has been a catchy tune sung around in our home as well. As a parent, I thank you Mr. B.!
Ethan, I'm so proud of you son that you were the photographer. What a neat and new experience for you! It's always wonderful for me to see you try new things. I love you and continue to encourage you to do so!
Sincerely,
Young (Ethan's mom)
Dear Mrs. Yollis,
ReplyDeleteWhen I was singing 3Rs I was rocking out! The part reduce, reuse, recycle was so fun I almost made myself go outside.
I was so excited when I heard we were going to have a Skype with Mr. Salsich. Yes!

Dear Mrs. Yollis,
ReplyDeleteThe Skype conversation was real fun. One of the things that I really want to try that seems fun is Ecco World. It was fun in one way because they said lots of details. I hope we do it again.

Dear Mrs Yollis and students,
ReplyDeletehow cool was this I really loved the fact that you both sang from different ends and you all did a super job. Didn`t Mr B do a great job too ever if there was a delay it still sounded GREAT. Actually I even got in on the act and started to sing as well could you hear me!! Am so glad so many people near and far did a great job taking part in Earth Day. Thanks for another wonderful post from your friend down under AA>
Dear Mrs. Yollis' Class and Mr. B,
ReplyDeleteI had a fantastic experience skyping with all of you on Friday! my favorite part was finally meeting all the brilliant students that leave such wonderful comments on our blog.
Not only are your commenting skills amazing, but your singing is equally impressive. It was great singing the 3 Rs song together, and also the other two that everyone knew already. Mr. B did an amazing job changing his speed to make up for the slight delay.
All in all, it was a great experience and I hope we can skype again sometime soon.
Your friend and fan,
Mr. Salsich
Dear Mrs. Yollis's Class,
ReplyDeleteI loved the song written by Mr. B that everyone participated in to sing. I am a professional musical artist and vocalist. As an artist I enjoyed so much to see all of the enthusiasm that each and everyone of you showed. You all did a very good job!
Sincerly,

Dear,Mrs Yollis' Class
ReplyDeleteI like how everybody went up to the camera. I also liked when we sang with you and and Mr.B.
I think that going to school at 8:00 and getting out at 2:20 is interesting! I like our time better though, because you can sleep later. You have a good time though because you get out earlier.

ReplyDeleteSomething I liked about the video chat was that we got to sing songs during the skype. Something interesting I learned was that you guys get out at 2:30 and you get in at 8:00.
