Skype Takes You Places! by Mrs. Spath's Kindergarten


 

Run, run as fast as you can!!!

Mrs. Spath’s Class has their very own Gingerbread Girl, and we named her Elsa.

After reading a version of the Gingerbread Man she ran away and we can’t find her! Have you seen her?

We have received many postcards saying our family members have seen her, but we are hoping she comes back.

We Skyped a friend of Isabella’s mom from Sydney, Australia who saw her at the Opera house singing.

Ms. Lixia told us all about Australia and the Winter traditions they celebrate.  Did you know that it is summer there?

Yes, she told us that it was warm and beautiful.  They celebrate Christmas and the very next day is Boxing Day.

She told us all about the kangaroos that roamed the area,  and she showed us the Flag.

We really enjoyed learning about Australia.

AND THEN.....


Mrs. Spath’s class skyped a 3rd grade class in Louisiana. 

Mrs. Landry, a 3rd grade teacher who used to teach with Mrs. Spath, read the Cajun version of The Gingerbread Boy to both classes.

We were able to talk about things in Louisiana like sugarcane.  They had just returned from a field trip and shared their experience with the class.
 
 
We have been traveling the world without ever leaving our classroom!
