Entering Ms. Blair's Kingdom

It has been about seven weeks since school started, and we're both been busy implementing elements from our fellowship experience.  The students in both classes have seen lots of photos and some videos as we've discussed character traits and story settings.  We have both also arranged for Stephanie, one of our tour guides, to video chat with our individual classrooms via Skype, and we are VERY excited to "see" her again and have her meet our students.  In preparation for Stephanie's calls, we have been testing out our technology set ups, and today, Ms. Bright met Ms. Blair's students for the first time via Skype.  Ms. Blair's "lords and ladies" were eager to participate in the chat and asked lots of fun questions in an effort to get to know Ms. Bright better.  Stay tuned as we use this technology to bridge our two classrooms and implement the reading buddy program outlined in our fellowship proposal!
