Virtual Pen Pals

That's right! Our class has virtual pen pals! Why write letters and waste paper trying to explain the projects we've done and things we've learned when we can talk to other students and SHOW our projects and tell each other about the things we've learned face-to-face!?! Our class loves technology. :) And so does Mrs. Richardson's class in Wesley Chapel, Florida! Wesley Chapel is right outside of Tampa, Florida. We can't wait to get to know our new friends better and see the things they are learning in Florida and share what we are learning here in Texas over Skype. Last Friday we reviewed what we have learned about adjectives and introduced ourselves to each other by telling our names with an adjective that describes us. For example, I was Mrs. Silly Story! The kids had a lot of fun coming up with their adjectives and sharing them with our new friends. We also shared our classroom leadership roles with our pen pals and let them know how each of us has an important role in making our class as successful as it is. We have a lot of information and ideas to share to inspire each other and make learning even more fun than it already is! Here are a few pictures of our first time Skyping with our virtual pen pals:
