Through the OREO project, we have had the opportunity to skype with a class in Scotland. It has been a wonderful experience! we have learned many things about our new friends across the pond!
We showed them our package of "Halloween" OREOS. They do not have this kind in Scotland.
We asked what the temperature was in Scotland. They answered, "18 degrees Celsius". This quickly turned into a teachable moment, with a lesson on Celsius vs. Fahrenheit. We watched a BrainPOP video to learn more, then we converted their temperature into Fahrenheit and found the difference.
They showed us that their school mascot is an owl.
