Mrs. Moore’s first graders Skyped with some new friends in Baltimore this week. Each of the students shared one of their favorite things about living in their home state. We loved meeting the students in Baltimore, hearing about their lives, and seeing their artwork!
To prepare for our Skype we used Google Earth to view the city of Baltimore and the school that our friends attend. This is what we saw!
First we zoomed in on the city of Baltimore.
Then we found the neighborhood that our friends go to school in. It is called Towson.
Then we went into street view and saw the outside of their school, Cromwell Valley Magnet School of Technology.
During our Skype we learned many things about Maryland. Some of the things that our Baltimore friends like about Maryland include:
The Baltimore Zoo – which has animals like giraffes, elephants, and monkeys!
The Baltimore Orioles and the Ravens – they are a big sports town!
Ocean City and Port Discovery – these two places were mentioned many times. We can’t wait to learn more about them.
The beautiful Chesapeake Bay,
and much more…
Check out some pics and video of our Skype!
Here is the video from our friends in Baltimore!
