Right away, we decided to read aloud this week's featured book, Chopsticks. Our class thought it was funny and we enjoyed the beautiful illustrations.
We also met another GRA partner classroom today! The 2KG class in Bangkok, Thailand sent us a video to say hello. Using Bing Maps, we added their city to our map and looked at how far away they are from us!
We were also surprised to learn that at 11AM this morning in Canada it was already 11PM in Thailand. In order to share our ideas and learn with our new friends, we will have to use messages and videos rather than live video calls. We started by sharing ideas on this Padlet board created by 2KG teachers Ms. Jennifer Baccon & Ms. Kathryn Grossi. Their focus question for us was "How did you connect to this book?" Many students in our class could relate to being separated from a special person (just like the Chopsticks decide to spend time apart in the book).
We are looking forward to learning more about the 2KG class and sharing our ideas about our read aloud books!
