Skyping about Snails!

Source

Today I asked the students to help me write our blog.  Here's what they had to say:


Today we talked to a different class about snails. - Tayna

We talked to them with Skype. - Kyle

We didn't yell we just asked them our questions. - Denise

We said thank you for telling us all about snails. - Bryce

We got to see their snail. - Ellie


We were so lucky to join Mrs. Schmidt's class from Ontario to talk to them about snails. They have also been learning all about snails and they were excited to ask us their questions.

We also asked them 3 questions.  We asked:

1) When do snails go in their shell?
They said that snails go in their shell to protect themselves from predators.

2) What do snails eat?
They told us that their snails eat lettuce.

3) Why do snails have slime?
Their class was wondering about this too. We both think it helps them to move.


They gave us their best answers.  It turns out that they had a lot of the same questions as we did.

When we were all finished talking, we gave them a compliment and they gave us a compliment.

We are hoping to have many more chats with Mrs. Schmidt's class this year.
