Our lucky third graders continued their exploration of other places during Skype sessions this week with students in Pennsylvania and South Dakota. We loved sharing with them and we learned so much as well.
From our friends at Evergreen Elementary in Lake Ariel Pennsylvania, Ms. Manliguis’ class learned several interesting facts. We learned about the wonderful history of Philadelphia where the US Constitution was signed! The Liberty Bell is in Philadelphia. We also learned some very interesting facts. Did you know that Pennsylvania’s state beverage is milk? Or that the state insect is the firefly? Did you know that bubble gum, Crayola crayons, and the Ferris wheel were all invented in Pennsylvania? We thought those things were very interesting!
From our friends in South Dakota we learned some amazing things as well! Did you know that South Dakota has a state dinosaur? It’s the Triceratops! There are some very beautiful mountains in South Dakota, including one very famous one called…. Mount Rushmore! The students we skyped with only had 5 people in their class! They live in a very rural area and every one of the students owns a horse! While we were skyping with them it was snowing. In fact, they started school two hours late that day because of a blizzard! We thought that was amazing!
