Ms. Stewart's class was so fortunate to start out our Skypes for the day with Mr. Plemmons and his third graders from Athens, Georgia. We took turns reading The Dot together and we discovered that our versions of The Dot were indeed different. We had some fun talking about that! Later that morning, Mrs. Brand's kindergarteners met another group of kindergarten students from Asheville, North Carolina. Ms. Hendrix and her class were a ton of fun to connect with. We shared the art we had made by covering the first letter of their names with dots of all kinds. We connected with Ms. Hendrix again later as Mrs. Kosienski's class met some of her 2nd graders. We read The Dot and shared our art again. We loved talking with her students! Mrs. Caramanello's 1st graders shared their Buddy dots with Mrs. MacDonald's students from South Burlington, Vermont. We shared some of our art work and then Mrs. MacDonald had a great book to share with us called Dot. by Randi Zuckerberg and Joe Berger. How could I have missed this book? Dot spends a lot of time talking and using different digital devices, but sometimes you need to go and do something else. Not that it stops her from talking of course. Thank you for introducing us to this terrific book! Our final skype of the day brought Mrs. Nels' class from Jupiter, Florida. It was exciting to skype with the kids from Florida and Mrs. Loffredo's students were thrilled. Most of them knew where Florida was and that it was quite far away. Mrs. Nels' class was patient with us as we shared some of the trading cards we made.
