Blogging Bears

Students at Hadley Middle School in Wichita, Kansas - USA, sent a teddy bear named Ted Hadley to students in Italy. In return, students in Italy sent their teddy bear (Bea) to students at Hadley. The students will be journaling from the view point of their visiting bears. This exchange will help the students practice their English, as well as learn about a different country and their culture.

Ted Arrives




Dear diary,I tell you my day.I got to Mesagne (Italy), at last! Miss Andriulo brought me to the school where she teaches. When Miss Andriulo opened the package, all the students began howling and all of them came around me.The idea of having me here makes them very happy. Besides, they love the gifts I took with me. (especially candies)!I’m staying in Giorgia's house. She is very kind to me!I had Italian dishes for lunch. Italian food is very different from ours!Unfortunately Giorgia didn’t have time to go out and therefore I haven't had the possibility to see the town yet . But I think that I will go sightseeing with the other students that are going to host me. Giorgia let me see all of her things and told me that she likes Tokio Hotel. She was surprised I don’t know this band. I met her family and they are happy to have me on visit.Today was a great day.

Now I’m going to bed because I’m a bit tired!Ted
