We had a great time speaking with our new friends in North Carolina for half an hour! This conversation wasn't as successful as the other ones have been because their sound system wasn't as loud and clear as the other groups we've talked to, so we couldn't hear any of the whole-class responses or the "background" noise (I know that may sound silly, but hearing all of the kids and their teacher really makes us feel more like we are there with them!)
They had a lot of prepared questions for us about Texas, and we enjoyed answering. A side benefit I had never thought about was that my students are learning a lot more about Texas so that they can answer questions as experts!

I recently tried to post a comment, but I do not know if it went through. If it did, sorry for double posting.
