Skyping with Mr. Kruger’s Class!
Today we were able to connect with Mr. Kruger’s 3rd grade class in Minnesota.
It is always fun to meet new friends. Both of our classes were ready to talk about our communities. Here is some of what we learned.
***
For fun…
They visit the Minnesota Zoo or the Como Zoo. The Como Zoo is free!
The 3rd graders can go to the Mall of America, but this isn’t just any mall. It’s the biggest mall in the United States. They even have roller coasters inside called Nickelodeon Universe! Mrs. Moore has actually been there and can verify that it would take a long time to visit all of the stores and see everything there is to see.

Many students visit their cabins on the weekends.
Their community has the largest free fair in the state. It is held in August.
***
Several of the students shared about some special jobs that their families have.
Gopher Sport makes athletic and fitness equipment.
Viracon-This company makes the glass and tints for windows. Their glass is being used in the new World Trade Center building in New York.
Construction and Insurance- This area provides insurance to many large companies.
Josten’s- They created the designs for the Super Bowl rings.
Mayo Clinic- This is a very special, well-known medical center that helps to diagnose and treat patients.
*
Their community has about 25,000 people.
We discovered that our temperatures are very similar, which makes sense because we are very close in location. They are hoping to get some snow tonight!

Thank you for helping us learn more about our world!

Do you have any questions you did not have time to ask?

Tell us a fun fact about the area you live in.

Dear Techie Kids,
Did you have fun skyping with Mr. Kruger’s class? We thought it was really fun to see and talk to someone in another state. Did you think it was cool that one of the kid’s dad designed the super-bowl rings? Did you know that Michigan’s nicknames are Water Wonderland, The Wolverine State, and the Great Lake State?
Sincerely,
Gabby and Riley

Dear Mr. Kruger’s class,
Skyping with you was cool. I was so suprised when I heard that one of your student’s dad designs the Super Bowl rings. So you go to the Metrodome to see the Minnesota Vikings. I liked the jobs that you have. I especily like The Mall Of America and Nick Universe. It’s cool that they have roller coasters. I wonder if we will skype with you again.

Dear Techie Kids,
Did you know that Michigan’s state tree is the White Pine?
I wonder what Minnisoda state tree is and if they have a mascot like Hugo?

Dear Mr. Kruger’s class,
It was nice to learn about Minnesota. Do you have any other big buildings in your state? How big is the Mall of America? Does anyone build doors for cars and attach them to cars like we do?
