Last week, we skyped with a 2nd grade class in Dubai. We both read the book "Nana in the City" before our Skype call. Then we asked and answered questions about the book. A huge thanks to Mrs. Kahook for arranging such a fun technology activity related to literature. It was an amazing learning experience for all!
