Making Connections: Falling 4 Skype

Mrs. Thomas 1st grade class and our 2nd grade class had three Skype calls this week.  Skype is a online tool that allows you to use a webcam and microphone to communicate and collaborate with others.  On Monday, classes met and introduced themselves.  On Wednesday, our class taught the 1st graders about sunflowers based on books we read in class.  On Friday, we were the audience as Mrs. Thomas' class taught us about an apple tree's journey through the seasons.  We look forward to using Skype a lot this year.  This was a wonderful way to start!
