Pennsylvania Connection...
Recently, Mrs. Phillips and Mr. Pinchot's homerooms had the unique opportunity to "skype" with third and fourth graders in the state of Pennsylvania. Through this experience, both sides were able to ask questions in order to learn points of interest regarding connections in science (weather), social studies (relevant history, famous people), and general facts about each others' schools and academic priorities. It was a wonderful experience that the students enjoyed. You can view our 20 minute conversation below! If you do, please leave a comment sharing your thoughts. We very much appreciate Mrs. Melanie Holstman for allowing us the opportunity to do this. We hope to find a classroom to make a new connection with in Fairbanks, Alaska later this year, as we have compared and contrasted their climate and weather conditions with our own here in Jacksonville, Florida through our math workshop. :-)

when we did this activity,it seemed like we were on a field trip.It also felt like we were on gmail and we had goten an email from pensilvainia and they wanted to learn about florida's environment and learn about our school.
I had so much fun learning about the class in Pennsylvania! It was very cool seeing them all sitting there in their school uniforms and looking so different but having so much in common with us! Thank you to all the boys and girls that sat so quietly and listened when our new friends spoke and came up with great questions for them. I can't wait to make another skype learning connection with you!
