This morning we were invited to join Miss Farnden's (my sister!) classroom for a literacy Skype date! We were fortunate enough to have Mrs. Fourhorns read to us in Cree and Diesel read to us in French. Mantaqua and Rabea, from Bangladesh, showed us what the Bengali language looked like, then read to us in Bengali. Ricca-Mae, who is from the Phillipines, read a short story to us in her language of Talagog. What a GREAT experience it was!
We were invited to read to them as well so Mrs. Zopf, our Educational Assistant read a Robert Munsch book to them in French. Brady Resch also read on of his favourite books, "Brady Brady", to our classes.
As requested by the Grade 2's, who met my sister last year on Skype, she showed us her "famous" skill of reciting the alphabet backwards! Instant "Rock Star" status after doing this...
Have a look here :
