The third graders in Ms. Everett’s class connected with Maine. They have made many connections using Skype this year, and we had an awesome time learning all about our friends in Maine. We learned that:
Their state animal is the Moose!
Maine is the only state that borders one other state!
There are over 6,000 lakes and ponds in Maine (WOW!)
Their state flower is the pine cone (We didn’t know that the pine cone was a flower!)
Their state bird is the Chickadee.
Maine is five hours ahead of Hawai’i.
And, it was 24 degrees when we were talking to them, brrrrr!!!
Below are some pics and video clips of our Skype!
