This week, Sunnyland 4th graders will be participating in a Mystery Skype with another class in the United States!
Here is how two classes, one in California and one in New Zealand, connected via Skype!
We can also use Skype to connect with scientists, engineers, computer programmers, authors, artists...just about anyone!
Please comment! Who are some people we should connect with over Skype? What are some questions you would want to ask them?

Dear Mr. Pahl
ReplyDeleteIt would be fun to do this again since we did this in 3rd grade. We had a pen pal like a mystery Skype buddy. It would be fun collaborating with each other to see where they live in New Zealand and in California.
From; Eli
Dear Mr. Pahl
ReplyDeleteHey, that video was great and it seems like a fun way to use tech and learn social studies. Sounds like a plan.
Sincerely, Jaymeson
Dear Jaymeson,
DeleteI agree with you.
-Mike
Dear Mr.Pahl,
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of Skype in the classroom! Since I watched that video I was wondering, are we going to use Skype?!?
-Izabelle
Hi Izabelle,
DeleteYes! That was the first line in the post. :-) We are going to do this with another class on Friday. What kinds of questions will you want to ask them?
Mr. Pahl
Dear Mr.Pahl,
DeleteI think the questions I would ask would be do you have a mascot for your school or how long have you to this school.
Sincerely, Ellis
Dear Mr. Pahl
ReplyDeleteI would Skype Scientist because I think it would be a whole different experience for us. I would ask them a lot of question about him/her.
From, Evyn
Dear Mr. Pahl,
ReplyDeleteI have a question. Are we going to know the location of the other class and ask them questions about it, or are we going to guess?
Sincerely, Miranda
Hi Miranda,
DeleteWe'll talk about it more tomorrow. We both have a list of the same questions we will ask. We have to guess where in the US they are and they have to guess where in the US we are. IT IS GOING TO BE SO FUN.
Mr. Pahl
Dear Mr. Pahl
DeleteI was so flabbergasted when you said we are going to “visit” to another country that vary second I was thinking where I always wanted to Skype #1 thing that came to mind was “UK!” (United Kingdom) I thought. Can we CAN WE!?!?
-Sincerely, Lute D.
Dear Mr. Pahl I really liked the video of all those kids learning but learning while having fun, because if they were having fun while doing math then they’ll want to do math more and more until they rise to the top with all of their math skills. So I think that the video inspired me to want to do more math. So thank you for putting that video out there it really helped. Best Wishes, Hannah
ReplyDeleteDear Mr. Pahl,
ReplyDeleteCan we visit somewhere in Asian? Like Korea? I would love to know what the weather is like there. Because it in Asian and Asian is really hot but also my aunt who lives there told me that it’s snow on Christmas. So I’m still wondering.
-Elizabeth
Elizabeth,
DeleteI would love to Skype with someone in Asia. I have a friend in a country there. Let me see if I can get in touch with him!
Mr. Pahl
To Sunnyland,
ReplyDeleteWow I can’t believe that you can use Skype to people all around the world. You can communicate with people from china and a cool thing is that you can play a kind of game with them and try to figure out where you are, amazing.
From Benjamin
Dear Mr. Pahl ,
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy Skype because we can learn new. What I want to learn more about what is there house made out of and what is there weather there then in Bellingham. Mr. Pahl can we do Skype some day?
From Angelina
Dear School,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for making it possible for us to learn about and connect with other cities and maybe other countries it’s a huge privilege. Thank you!
Sincerely, Jaymeson
Dear Mr.Pahl,
ReplyDeleteMystery Skype in the classroom awesome! I would like for us to Skype anyone! One question I want to ask them is do they have a lot of sunshine. Or do they have cold weather
From,
Eric
Dear Mr.Pahl,
ReplyDeleteI think that we should meet a classroom in china so we can learn what school is like across the country. We can learn what school they go to, what they’re learning in class, and if they have questions about us!
-Izabelle
To MR. Pahl,
ReplyDeleteWe should connect to a china class room I kind of want to see something about their culture. I would also like to see there national anthem and have them tell us its heritage.
From, Benjamin
Dear Class,
ReplyDeleteHopefully we get to meet a lot of new people like scientists or zoo keepers. Or a lot of new classes. Because it would be like were in the same room. Also I would like to meet a computer programmer. I want to ask him how many years or months does it take you or master the computer programming and coding.
From Eli.
Dear Mr.Pahl,
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting Skype videos if we ever get time can we Skype to other class can we probably connect with Canadian schools.
From,
Gurparam
Dear Mr. Pahl,
ReplyDeleteIf I could I would Skype with a famous architect/ interior designer or a fashion designer such as, Arturo Vitali.
Sincerely, Miranda
Dear Mr. Pahl,
ReplyDeleteThat is very nice we get ton Skype with someone in the world! I wonder what they are like. Here’s a question for them is your president a girl? Is it cold were your living? Do you eat ice cream? Some people we should connect with Skype might live in Australia.
-Charlie
Dear Mr. Pahl,
ReplyDeleteWe should Skype to a scientist that study’s tide pools. I think this because we have been studying about tide pools and they are likely to give us a fact or two that we don’t know about the tide pools.
From Silas,
Dear Mr. Pahl,
ReplyDeleteIt would be interesting to connect too other country’s including zoo people and artists we could connect to artist or zoo people. If we do I will share a list full of Questions on a paper like “where are you “and “What country do you live in.
From Alex,
Dear Mr. Pahl, are we actually going to do this? Are we going to check out other classrooms around the world? This is going to be AWESOME! –Alanis
ReplyDeleteDear, Everyone
ReplyDeleteI think this is a good idea because we can actually interact with people and learn a lot more new things that we know now. I would ask a scientist a lot of questions for example: Where are you from? How old are you? What kind of Scientist are you?
From, Evyn
Dear mr. pahl
ReplyDeleteI would talk with my cousins in Mexico because I don’t know any other language excepted for Mexican and English
From Brian
Dear Classroom
ReplyDeleteI can’t wait to Skype with a different class it would be so much fun cooperating with kids I’ve never seen in my life. I would ask them what their personality is like.
Dear 4th grade,
ReplyDeleteI think that using a computer to see the people around the world is nice. Oh and I would ask California and how hot it is there and do they go swimming.
From, Vanessa
Dear Mr. Pahl,
ReplyDeleteI think Skype in the class room would be a good Idea because we can inter act with other class room and we can see what their culture is like. If we could skype I could skype the people that aren’t I the same room as me. If I could ask them any question it would be where are you from .what are your names, what kind of culture are they from.

Dear Skype friends,
ReplyDeleteI don’t know who I would Skype with but I will take a guess the people I would Skype is a class who needs more opinion of math or science. I would ask them: Do you need help do you need opinion of anything.
From: Yolibeth
Dear Mr. Pahl,
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I would choose to Skype with a classroom in Canada, and ask them their favorite food, favorite sport, and what they like to do with their free time. I have my own Skype account, and I love it to talk to my friends. It is amazing to chat with others around the world. I talked to my mother when she took a trip to Chicago.
From Sam, in Mr. Pahl’s class.

Dear everyone,
ReplyDeleteI think this is a great idea because we get to communicate with different people. I want to Skype with an engineer. The type of questions I would ask him or her would be: What do you build? How old are you? What type of engineer are you?
From, Kyle
Dear 4th grade,
ReplyDeleteIf we could Skype with anyone I would want to Skype with an animal scientist in Australia. I would ask him or her “what kinds of animals do you work with and what is your job like?” we could also Skype with Usain Bolt, the fastest man living and ask him what it’s like to go into the Olympics and be the fasted man alive.
Sincerely,
Neri
Dear class,
ReplyDeleteThe person I would want to Skype is a video gamer because I am a video gamer myself. Three questions I would ask are how do you make them, do you make them or test them and how are you. This is going to be fun I just know it. Mr. Pahl always has plans for us and they are FUN!!!
From, Sebastian R

Dear Mr. Pahl I really loved how on the Skype that when we did it, it was really planed and we were prepared. I also liked it because I got to see some more kids, and it really felt like I was there in person. I personally loved it. I really think that everyone else had fun to. Like it said on the video on the class blog, they’re teacher made learning fun and so did you. Also since while we were having fun we were also learning, so what I have to say to that is thank you for the opportunity to learn. Best Wishes, Hannah
