This is our first time talking to our friends in Dresden, Ontario. We are partnered up to talk about the book The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane for the 2014 Global Read Aloud. Today we asked questions about what stores they have in their town, what their playground is like, and what they are learning in Math. We learned that they have Tim Hortons, a Walmart about 20 min away, banks and drug stores too. They are learning Place Value in math, just like us. Their playground has 3 slides and not a lot of grass. They were really surprised to hear that our school yard is on top of a hill and we get to slide at recess in the winter. They also were amazed to hear that we have 3 soccer fields. Their school is from JK to Grade 8 and they have about 400 students.
Loren says it was pretty awesome to talk to them because we could see their faces instead of just chatting in our Edmodo group.
Katie thinks it's a neat way to make some new friends.
Janica thought they asked us some pretty good questions about what was going to happen to Edward.
We also talked about the weather. We hope we can talk again soon.
