*Our third class read aloud was Wonderland by Barbara O'Connor.
*When I read it on my own, I knew I wanted to share the story with my class.
*This summer, Barbara offered several free 20-minute Skype visits, and I was lucky to get one of her time slots.
*Our visit was scheduled for Wednesday, November 7th. Because of a very busy schedule, we finished the novel the morning of the visit.
*I had my listeners create comments and questions that we could share with Barbara.
*The Skype visit was wonderful, meaningful, and quite fun. Barbara is so easy to talk to and connects so well with the students.
*After our visit, my class wants me to read Wish so we can experience another story by this incredible author.
*Here are some images of the Skype session in action...
