We were able to make two very special connections last week with the book Do You Want to Be My Friend? by Eric Carle.
We listened to this book over Skype. Our Skype connection was with Mack's mom, Christina. It was so much fun sharing this interactive book with one of our parents from home! Thank you Christina!
The kids were very curious to know whose parent would appear on the screen. They listened intently and enjoyed making predictions before each turn of the page.
Mack stepped up to the camera to say goodbye!
Our second connection was a couple of days later. We Skyped with Mrs. Modisette's Kindergarten class in Mont Belvieu, TX. The students were surprised to see that some kids in Texas were wearing shorts! They reported 80 degrees and sunny there. Some of our students showed them our winter coats and hats, which we have been wearing outside. The students in Texas were surprised as well. Our eyes are being opened to the idea that the weather isn't the same everywhere on the map!
Our students shared ideas about how the mouse in Do You Want to Be My Friend? could play with some of the other animals in the book. Mrs. Modisette's students shared which animal they would like to play with, and why.
