Online+Valentine+(Melting+the+Miles)

Online Valentine - Melting the Miles: 2015 This is a link to the original project's website: Virtual Valentines

We were lucky enough to be paired with Mrs. Beasley's class from Sophia, North Carolina. We had so much fun making virtual valentines to share with her class, and then learning about their area of North Carolina! The project has 3 basic requirements:
 * make online valentines to share (in any format we choose)
 * calculate the mileage between the two classrooms
 * learn about the region of our partner class

Our class researched some options for creating virtual valentines, and then voted to create images & poems in Pages, and then put them together into a presentation in Keynote and/or Powerpoint. We had just finished learning about limericks, so several of the valentines have limericks included! Here is our presentation: media type="slideshare" key="44557111" height="400" width="476"

We used Google Maps to find the distance from Buhler, KS to Sophia, North Carolina: media type="custom" key="27186906"

We spent some time learning about North Carolina, and specifically researching the area around Sophia. We made a Padlet board with interesting facts that we learned: media type="custom" key="27190096"
