We participated in Read Around the Planet for reading month. We were matched with a class in Texas. Kay Hauck from the RESD brought in the equipment to hook us up so we could see them and they could see us. We wrote a book and each child read their page. Then, we listened to their presentation and had a chance to ask each other questions. The other school was Rusk Elementary in El Paso, Texas. We learned that they are close to the Mexican border and live in a very large city. They told us that it was going to be 75 that day and they would be able to go home and go swimming. Of course, we aren't so lucky. It was about 30 here that day, but we were due for another cold snap and had lots of snow. We told them that we could go sledding or skiing. It was a great experience! For teachers, check the teacher page for lesson details.
