Janurary was an eventful month for our class here at JES! We have met many new friends through our Skype calls with Ms. Turner's class. We Skyped with Ms. Weil's 3rd grade class in Highland Park, Illinois, Mr. Bowling's class in Honolulu, Hawaii, and Mr. Ross's class in Charlottetown, Canada. We had visitors from KSLA news who shared our Skype story on the evening news and a newspaper reporter from the Marshall News Messenger who wrote an article about us in the paper. Mr. Ross had a reporter in his class when we Skyped, so we also made the local news in Canada! Everyone has been so excited! We learned about the volcanoes and craters in Hawaii and the Willis Tower in Chicago. The students realized that even though we don't live in the same places, we all like to do alot of the same things. Many of our students want to go try some of the deep dish pizza in Chicago, and their friends in Ms. Weil's class want to come and try our steak fingers! We hope to work with all of our of new friends on some projects this school year! Click on the links below to check out some pictures from our recent Skype calls!
