Skyping with E.G.

If you heard your child talking about seeing Italy yesterday, they weren’t telling a fib!  One of our third grade students, Emma, is traveling the world this year with her family.  Emma’s family is currently in Italy for the month of September.  Yesterday, we skyped with Mrs. Hampton in the library for the very first time.  Emma told us all about her travels thus far.  She even walked around her yard and showed us her house, a pomengranate tree, and her olive tree.  The view was beautiful!  We are so excited to have Emma be a part of our classroom!  They have made me her honorary third grade teacher and I am ecstatic about this wonderful opportunity! 

Once we get up and running we will be skyping with Emma on a regular basis.  She will share with us what she is learning about the different places she is visiting around the world.  We will keep you up to date with pictures and what we are learning through this class blog.  We will also be following her travels on Google Earth marking her stops along the way to learn more about the different countries around our planet.  We can’t wait to Skype with Emma again!
