Connecting Class with Kahoot

We finished reading Pax for the global read aloud. We did a Kahoot Quiz between three classes. 

We also had some survey questions to figure out which of the characters was our favorite and how we felt about the ending! There were 36 students total participating between 3 classes. A little girl in the Illinois class ended up with the highest score. 

We had been tweeting once a week for the last month with these two classes (in Illinois and Florida), so this was a fun way to end the end. The class in Florida is reading Flora & Ulysses too, so we will likely re-connect with them again later in the year. 

I gave my students access to make their own Kahoot this week, so they have been working hard making their own quizzes. I have been really impressed. The best way to learn is to teach, right? :) I have been writing word problems like this to help the students understand HOW to understand what the question is asking. Seeing the student's Kahoot made me realize how successful this actually was. 

We have had some great connections with other classes. Here is our map board with the 4 letters we have received. We are doing the Holiday Card Exchange, so we should have more in the near future!
