Gr K-3 Class Stuffed Animal Mascot Exchange:

Students in 8 classrooms from Grapevine, Texas ranging from Kindergarten through 3rd grade are looking to exchange their class stuffed animal mascot for the school year with another class outside the state of Texas. Each class will select a class stuffed animal for their mascot and journal daily activities around their class and school. By the beginning of October, each class will then exchange their stuffed animal for the school year. The students are encouraged to take the stuffed animal home to explore the local community. Students will use a Wiki to document their adventures with the stuffed animal through writing, photos, and video. Each class will also connect through video conferencing twice during the school year (specific dates and times to be determined by participating teachers). During the video conference students will share curriculum related information to reflect what is being taught in the classroom. At the end of April students will say goodbye to their friend and be reunited with their original class stuffed animal mascot.
