We Visited New Jersey!




The children in Mrs. Ewalt's fifth grade have met some new friends....in New Jersey....via technology! They were engaged in a one-hour conversation on Tuesday, March 31, with the class using a Skype program. Both classrooms were able to learn about the other by asking questions, listening to their responses, and laughing together using both audio and visual means. Ms. Wahling, a former Sidney graduate, contacted us after viewing our website, and asked about the possibilities of the having the two classrooms correspond . What a great opportunity for the students! The students will are excited about the plans to continue to communicate and learn about life on the east coast. The students are also anxious to share information about Iowa with the New Jersey students.
