Today in Mrs. Lee’s class, the students talked with people in Germany, Switzerland, Florida, Portugal, Atlanta, Georgia, and Tennessee using Google Meet and FaceTime! They asked each person what time it was where they were and then tried to figure out their location on the map.

The class was amazed that it was 7:00 PM and dark in Germany while it was 12:00 noon here! Learning about time zones was so much fun!

A huge thank you to everyone who took time out of their day (and evening!) to call in and help the students learn. You made the lesson extra special! 💫
