AISJ and WBAIS Winter Holidays Skype Call - January 14, 2011
AISJ and WBAIS had a wonderful Skype call on Friday, January 14th. The call started with students from AISJ reading information about winter holidays they celebrate from their various countries. WBAIS students responded with excitement as many of the students from AISJ are from the same countries and holidays celebrated here are also celebrated by students at AISJ! Students at WBAIS then told AISJ kids about two holidays that were not mentioned by them, answering questions about how they are celebrated.

The two classes also discussed the "crazy" weather in each location. Although it was winter in January (a time that is usually cold in Israel), the day of the call was warm with the sun shining! In South Africa, where it was summer (when it's usually hot) it was raining!

We look forward to further communication the rest of the year!
