For first grade students in Oregon, and fourth grade students in Japan, their steps happen at electronic speed. Our e-mail and web based exchange revolves around the concepts of Identity and Journeys using the conceits of shoes and footsteps.

For this project, the children have:

read and written narrative poetry.
made biographical poems.
conducted literature responses based on shared books.
construct awesome shoes of their own design.
conducted some beginning literature circles using a series of multicultural Cinderella and journey picture books. The poetic jewel in our crown is a narrative poetry book titled If the Shoe Fits- Voices from Cinderella by Laura Whipple.

Please click on the various links to the right to see what each of the buddy groups have done or to the teaching page to see the curricular outline. Unfortunately, due to differing web publishing policies between the two schools, no pictures and full names of the first grade student may be published.
