Read Around the Planet with Texas

We did Read Around the Planet with Texas. We were matched with a classroom in Texas and we exchanged presentations. We could see their classroom on our projection wall and they could see us. We shared a penguin book we made and told them about Michigan and showed them some snow pictures. They performed a monkey puppet show, sang a song and read us a book. The students really enjoyed it.

Student Writings about our Read Around the Planet experience.

Mrs. Sian's Class,

We also did Read Across the Planet. We were connected to a class in Alabama. It was so much fun. We really liked your writing about penguins too. We would have responded to each of your posts, but the only account we have is Mrs. Thelen's. We look forward to reading more of your writing. Thanks for sharing,
Mrs. Thelen's 5th Grade Class at Hillside.

Dear Mrs. Sian's Class,

I really enjoyed reading to you on Tuesday. You had a lot of nice comments and questions. A lot of you were wearing green, as I was for St. Patrick's Day. Remember, Kermit the Frog says, "It easy being green."
Keep working on your reading!
Have a good rest of the week.
Mr. Minor
