Skyping with Mrs. Watson and the 2/3′s!
This week, we were able to Skype with our friends in British Columbia, Canada. It is always great to talk with Mrs. Watson and the 2/3’s! Our classes decided to try something different this visit. We thought it might be fun to read together.
If you’re going to read together, why not share a poem from You Read to Me, I’ll Read to You.
This fantastic book allowed the 2/3′s to practice one side of the text and the Techie Kids to practice the other side.
Our text was colored purple and
the 2/3′s text was colored pink.
When the blue text appeared in the middle, we read together!
Listen to see what our poem, The Two Mice, sounded like.
You Read to Me, I’ll Read to You from Kelly Moore on Vimeo.
After reading, we learned some super-cool facts about each other.
The 2/3′s have 46 children in their entire school compared to our 400!
There are 17 students in their class compared to the 27 Techie Kids participating in this session.
Our school day is longer by 1 hour and 15 minutes.
We thought it was very cool that some students were able to go home for lunch or have hot lunches delivered to them.
We are very interested in how their class can play in a temperate rainforest.
Everyone thought it would be fun to have a little friend like Chippy the Chipmunk!
Here are some pictures that were taken by our second grade Techie Kids.
We can’t wait to learn more with our buddies!
What was the most interesting thing you learned?
What connections did you make?
What would you like to learn more about?

Dear Techie Kids,
I can’t believe you guys got to skype two times. Tomorrow we are skyping with our blog buddies from Texas. I hope we have a lot of fun. One time when we were skyping with Mr. Bakers class from New Zeland and we got to stay after school. When we were waiting for our parents to pick us up we saw a dubble rainbow. It was really cool.

Dear Techie Kids,
That reminds me of what I did in 2nd grade at my old school. Girls read the letters highlighted in pink and the boys read the letters highlighted in blue if there were yellow highlighted letters we read it to together. I think this is important because the students would have to be paying attention to know when to read.

Dear Techie Kids,
I wonder if you kids had a lot of fun or not? It looked like a lot of fun. but I really can’t believe you kids got to skype twice because we only get to skype with our teacher.That reminds me when my teacher skypes with me and my classmates . We skyped with Mr. Austin and Mr. Baker too. well I’ve got to go to my next class. got to go bye.

Dear Mrs.Watson’s class,
That reminds me of I had so much fun skyping with a class in New Brunswick, Canada. Did you ever go do skyping before ? Do you eat lunch in your classroom instead of in a cafeteria? Do you have a playground at your school like I have at my school? Do you have specials like computer, art, gym, music, science?

Dear Jordan,
Isn’t it interesting to think about talking to someone who is in a different part of the day? When you are arriving at school in the morning, it is lunch time for us. That sounds silly!

Dear Sophie,
Hmm, I think my favorite part was listening to all of you reading together. We haven’t tried that before and both classes did a marvelous job! Even though we were far away, we were able to do something together. I wonder which poem we will read next…

Dear Techie Kids,
I have skyped before. It was very fun. My favourite part about it was asking and answering questions. The blogs and people that The Classroom Connection have skyped with are… Techie Kids, The Year 3 Supers49′ers and Sheree Fitch! Do you know who Sheree Fitch is? What is your favourite thing about skyping?
I see that when your class leaves comments your avatars are what you want them to be…
I was wondering how you do that?

Dear Kaitlyn,
I like asking and answering questions while skyping, too. I always learn so much. Can you tell us more about Sheree Fitch?
We use Gravatar so our image will follow us around to different blogs. Mrs. Webb-Scheers can send me a message if she wants to hear more.

I cannot belive you got to sykpe, twice! You are so lucky. Mr.E says that at some point we are going to sykpe, but I doubt we will do it twice!
Maybe I could try to convince Mrs.D to do it with us in class. Did you have fun doing it? What can you do on it?
