Skype Date with Florida

This morning we had a Skype date with a classroom in Florida.  They wanted to know about our community and our weather.  They asked us what the temperature was today ~ we tried to explain that it is actually warm here for the winter.  They told us it is "cold" there right now, which lead to a discussion later about how everything is relative ~ our cold is not the same as their cold.  They wanted to know what time it was in Coronach and we also sang them "O Canada".

We wondered about the temperature in Florida and where they were located.  We are 1 hour behind them for time, and we learned that they are 1.5 hours away from Orlando.

We told them that we made videos for them to watch, so that they can have a better understanding of our winter weather, what we wear, and what we do outside for fun.
