Second Graders Say “Hi” to Australian Friends Via Skype!

Today Ms. Fullerton’s class got to say a special “Aloha!” to Mr. Frost’s first and second graders in Australia! The word of the day was definitely “enthusiastic.” They were excited and we were excited 🙂 We will be Skyping with them again next week to share endemic and “pest” animals from Hawai’i and Australia.

Before Skyping with them we were very interested in seeing where they lived! We used Google Earth and started in Kea’au.
Then we soared through the sky and landed in Australia!  We used street view to see their school buildling. The name of their school is Malmsbury Primary School in Victoria, Australia.

Soon after that we saw them face to face and got to say “Aloha.”  (We were also practicing our “G’day’s”)  Here we are looking at them!

And here they are looking at us!

What a wonderful time we had meeting them.  We can’t wait to share our knowledge of Hawaiian animals the next time we Skype!
