Learning about Egyptian Egypt via @Skypeclassroom

My students interacted with someone in Egypt today. EGYPT. We found it on the globe, it was literally on the other side of the world from us. ("Egypt is in Africa?!?") It was 10pm there and noon here. They had just finished their celebration. 

The students noticed her accent and asked how to say Thank You "Shukran" and "Your Welcome" "Ahlan Wasahlan" 

 They also shared showed her pictures of the snow here and got to talk to our host's 11 year old daughter. They had the same favorite subject in School: PE. So amazing to connect these two vastly different worlds!
