Our first Skype was a success!

I am happy to report that we skyped with our kindergarten friends in Wisconsin!  We learned that these students do not have off like we do next week!  We also learned that they swim in lakes to cool off in the summer (when they are e coli-free)!  These students do have ipads and smartboards, as we do.  They have a lot of the same specials as us but the teacher teaches them in the classroom!  We also found out that they had a mild winter without much snow also!  We look forward to our next chat!

Project Update

I am happy to report that my project is moving along...we have our kindergarten class in Wisconsin that we are "epals" with.  They have shared their school tour with us and also their online assignment of "our favorite season".    We are planning to create a building tour video for them and we are both compiling a care package of things that represent our respective towns and states.  We will be Skyping with them next week and we are currently planning our questions, after comparing and contrasting our schools.  The kids are looking forward to this project!
