A small group of students volunteered to be a part of Horace Mann Elementary's State Skype Project, organized by Chad Lehman. Fourth and fifth graders in West Allis, Wisconsin are in the process of Skyping with all state across the US. Six students from our class were able to answer their 6 interview questions about New York state. Ethan, Alyssa, Natalie, Paige, Miranda, and Aunalee were each in charge of one question. They gathered books from the library to read together, as well as researched on the Internet to locate facts and symbols for our state. In addition to answering the questions about climate, history, facts, activities, and symbols - Alyssa shared with them our local forecast, Paige showed a state banner with some NYS symbols, and Aunalee used a map of the Empire State to show Randolph's location. After the Skype call, they each left a message or question for the other class. They also shared a site for kids. They did a wonderful job preparing and presenting. Nice job! We look forward to seeing their projects and posters about all of the states!
Thanks for sharing information about New York! You did a wonderful job. I'm glad you could connect with the students from our school.
