This past Thursday the second graders in Ms. Fullerton’s class participated in an exciting experience. Last week we said “Aloha” to some first and second graders in Australia. Well, this week we were able to Skype with them again to teach them about Hawaiian animals as well as learn about Australian animals.
We learned so much about many of the interesting animals that live in Australia! Some of them we have never ever seen before. We learned about emu, koalas, kangaroos, magpies, and even the red-bellied black snake!
It was truly a wonderful experience for all involved. We are so fortunate to have the technology tools that allow us to connect with learners from far away places. We look forward to checking in with our friends in Australia later on in the year!
One of the most exciting things was that even though it was Thursday afternoon for us, it was Friday morning for them!
Check out some pics and video clips of our conference:
