Just Say Hello Project
Cultural Exchange with a Class in Kenya
After the students in Kenya received our cards, they decided they wanted to Skype with us in order to teach us about their language, Swahili. Because of the time change, in order for us to Skype with the class in Kenya we will have to hold the session at 7:20 am which is before school. Since it is before school, I am opening this lesson up to anyone in 4th grade that would like to participate. The Skype session will be this Thursday morning January 22nd at 7:20am. I am asking for students to arrive in my room between 7:00-7:15am. (I will let the teachers on morning duty know that they are able to come up to my room.) If you have any questions about this exciting opportunity for our students please let me know!
Thanks for understanding the reason for the early morning Skype session.
