We had a wonderful time today, Skyping with our
Quad Blogging Buddies in Mr. Avery's class in
Plympton, Massachusetts!
Quad Blogging Buddies in Mr. Avery's class in
Plympton, Massachusetts!
They called us at 11:00 A. M., which was
2:00 P. M. Eastern Standard Time.
By the time we were finished talking, Mr. Avery's class was being dismissed to go home, and we were on our way to music with Mr. B!
The students in each class took turns sharing facts about
their states, communities, and schools.
It was interesting to make comparisons and contrasts!
For example, California is the third largest state in area with 158,633 square miles, and
Massachusetts is the sixth smallest state with an area of only 8,263 square miles!
In addition, California is the number one most populated state in the USA with
37,253,956 people! Massachusetts has a population of 6,547,629,
which is a large number for such a small state!
We noticed that we have something special in common, the ocean!
Of course, ours is the Pacific and theirs is the Atlantic!
***************
Each of us prepared a fact to share with Mr. Avery's class.
Some of the facts we shared were about our state symbols.
Watch the slide show to see some of the symbols of California! California State Symbols on PhotoPeach
