A Day of Space Exploration- Story and STEM

Hi there,  Today's Read Aloud talks about a meteor!  

I can't get my read aloud to fit on here it's too big so either head on over to Facebook to the Parents of Southwestern Page or my Page or you can watch this YouTube video of someone else reading it here.

Skyping with Thailand

Third Grade students in Mrs. Ohl's class 

skyped with a teacher in Thailand today.

We learned it's a 12 hour time difference.

She connected with us at 9:30 pm

People there speak Thai, love spicy foods, and fruit.

She lives in a small city of 5 million people. 😮

Her students are poor and work to 

help their families after school.

They have the next two weeks off for a 

cleaning vacation due to the Coronavirus- Covid19.
