Skype and Pen Pal Letters

We have had a very exciting few weeks.  Last week our class had a special visitor on Friday.  This visitor was the author of the Howard B. Wigglebottom books, Howard Binkow.  He couldn't actually come to our classroom because he lives in Florida, but he visited our classroom using Skype!  We were able to see and speak with him.  He read us 2 of his books and showed us the new TV he is hoping to put on TV soon!  We really enjoyed his visit and hope to Skype with others soon!  We also received our pen pal letters from our University pen pals.  They took our Flat Characters all around the university and sent us pictures of them!  Also, some people in our class are working on making groups of ten with leftovers. - Miss Matsumoto

This week has been exciting for us.  A long time ago we wrote our Flat stories and drew Flat Characters.  We sent them to our university pen pals.  They took them around their university.  Our whole class sent them a note saying we would like them to write their own flat stories and draw their own flat characters.  We have some pen pals in Thailand.  They want to know more about snow, because they don't have snow in Thailand.  They want us to tell them more about snow, so we did.   - Evva

Yesterday we do Library.  We took books out.  Then we bring books to the library.  I took out Elephant and Piggie.  It is a funny book.  We will do our art today after Agendas and after recess. - M.

We are making snow globes.  I brought a bear from Madagascar on a really little tricycle.  Our pen pals gave their letters to us because we made them Flat stories and they took pictures all around the university so we could see what it looked like.  In my letter it said my flat character snuck into the cookie case.  I like my letter and I can't wait for my next letter! - Lara
