Edward Johnson PS class teams up with Japanese students
Students in Mme Caudarella’s class class working on and celebrating the mural as it nears completion.
Grade 6 students in Mme Caudarella’s class at École Edward Johnson participated in a Global Project called Art Miles Japan this year. It is coordinated through the International Education and Resource Network and is a fabulous way for students to have a global learning experience.
A teacher is matched with a class from Japan and the classes begin by introducing themselves in the iEARN online forum and through videos that they create. The two classes then decide on a theme for a mural. In this case it was around the local culture and nature evident in our two countries.
The class from Japan begins the first half of the mural painting, and, once complete, sends it to the class in Canada to finish.
What a great opportunity for students to research, collaborate, design, and be creative with a classroom from across the world! Mme Caudarella’s class received the half-finished mural from Japan in January and sent it back this in mid-March.
