We spoke with Ms. Mosele's 5th grade class in Long Island, New York today. It was AWESOME!!! It was so much fun to find out what we had in common and to share and learn information that was different or suprising. Their mouths dropped when we told them that we almost never have snow days, and we were surprised to learn that it's 30 degrees there right now and "pretty warm for this time of year".
Mr. Waldvogel (the librarian who set up this meeting) and I agreed that it was a huge success. We're hoping to maybe collaborate on a shared project in the future.
What an amazing experience for them to realize that there is a big world out there, full of people with similarities and differences!
My students are journalling about the experience right now. I will post some of their comments later.
