So much fun with these little kinders! It really was a collaborative effort to bring forth global connections this year with Mrs. Eamon and Mrs. Daye. Our last Skype for the year was quite a surprise for one kinder, Mr. E. Love my job as an LCI @UCDSB @ucdsbvlc

@LUISPERRO21 I have a kinder class that will be learning about Mexico. We are in Long Sault Ontario, Canada. Would love to Skype your class if interested? They could tell us about all things Mexico! Let me know, thanks!

Hi. I'm a 6th grade teacher in Mexicali, México. I'm trying to teach my students how a tweet can travel so fast and so far. Can you please retweet this with the name of the city you're reading it? Thanks.

@KateMessner Our kinders are doing an author study on your picture books. They would be absolutely thrilled if you would Skype and read to them! Interested?

@jaclynbrooke28 @sluna_luna1 Too funny! We would be outside in t- shirts washing our cars. Your winter temps are our spring temps. We need to Skype again when we have more snow so we can show you!

@sluna_luna1 @WestwoodElemen1 @jaclynbrooke28 Look at those smiles! Thank you for the connection. Many similarities and differences which opened a great discussion for our students. From our school to yours, Merry Christmas! @SkypeClassroom @UCDSB
