Global Read Aloud 2016: Google Hangouts

What we have to say about our Google Hangouts: 
This week we did Google Hangouts. (OY)
We did the Google Hangouts with grade 2 classes. (BDL)
We did the Google Hangouts with other classes from around the world. (AA)
One class was from California, only 10 minutes away from Disneyland and the other was from Cozad, Nebraska. (OY, AO, JL)
Cozad is 1931 km from us and 17 hours drive away from us. (KM)
In Cozad there are 4000 people. (AO)
In Cozad, there was just one elementary school and one high school. (JL, NG, AA)
We asked so many questions while we were doing the Google Hangouts. (OY)
We did the Google Hangouts because we want to talk to other grade 2's because they've read the same books as us by Lauren Castillo.

We want to know more about other people from around the world and we want to know what they think about the books. (KM, AO, AA)

What puzzles us about air and what do we want to know more about? Where can we explore to find more information about air?
