Today, two of Mrs. Glaser's friends from Ireland dropped in to be Royal Readers on their way to O'Hare to travel back to Dublin. The students enjoyed hearing them buddy read "Rock Star Santa", and were able to ask questions about life in Ireland. Next, they showed the class where Ireland is in relation to Chicago.
This tied in nicely with our LMC lesson today, where we studied the names that Santa Claus has in other countries, and used Google Earth to "fly" to each of those countries. The first place that we "flew" to was Great Britain, and the students were able to see Ireland again, neighboring Great Britain. A few of them recognized it instantly, and were excited to see this pop up in another lesson so soon after meeting our Irish Royal Readers!
