Talking to Shawn in France

Our students were very excited once again to talk to Shawn and ask him lots of questions about his life in France. They had more questions when we were done skyping so they made these pictures with questions so that we could send him more mail.

Shawn loved sharing his recent adventure to Switzerland and the items that he collected to bring home to Canada.

Ireland was excited to see Shawn wearing the jacket she made for him.

On her recent visit to our classroom Madame Lewis was able to teach the children a french song so that they could sing it to Shawn. Our own french teacher helped the children with the words and Shawn loved it!

An SK Student In France

We have an SK friend who is currently living in France. Many children remember this child from their JK year, so they were thrilled to have the opportunity this week to Skype with their friend Shawn using a webcam and our large Smartboard!

During our conversation we were able to learn about France and how living there is the same and different than our experience living in Canada.  Many children were inspired by their conversation and chose to draw pictures and write messages to be sent using the postal system later this week.

Some even decided to create a costume to send to Shawn from the dress shop! Wow! What a surprise that will be to arrive in France using the mail system!

We wonder if we'll be receiving any mail ourselves from France anytime soon. Stay tuned!
