I just got off the phone with 3rd graders in VA! Through the marvels of modern technology, our Giraffe Class got to call, talk to and see the 3rd grade class at my cousins school in VA! It was amazing to see these kids in America and get to talk to them. The children here at the Touch Life Centre were amazed. I was proud of our kids. They sat quietly, took turns speaking and didn't move a muscle unless they were called on.
The 3rd Graders let us know what questions they were going to ask ahead of time. We practiced the answers to these questions....but when it came time to actually talk, the kids were so overwhelmed by seeing and hearing kids in America, they forgot their answers.
At the end of the call, our children didn't want to leave the room. They didn't want it to be over. It was a great experience! Now our kids have friends in VA. Who would have thought that my kids here at TLC would get to talk to and see kids in America? Thanks to my cousin Christie for a great idea!!
