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.

Bea visits Destiney


Dear Friends in Italy,

I went home with Destiney, she likes to be called Dezy. I was with her from October 17-21. We went to Oklahoma, a state that is south of Kansas. We visited with her dad's family. We ate doughnuts, they were delicious!! They are pastries that are fried and look like little round cakes with a hole in the middle. Later we ate a Mexican restaurant called "Alfredos". I had tacos with Dezy. They are really good and easy to hold and eat. We went to Dezy's grandparents' house. Her grandpa has lung cancer. After our visit we had ice cream. Later that night we had a movie night and ate popcorn and watched 2 movies, The Bee Movie and Iron Man. On our way back home on the 19th, we stopped at a store and got slushies, which are drinks with crushed ice and flavorings added, like cherry. I am so happy that tomorrow we go to the zoo!!!

I eat a lot, but the food here is different and I am trying to taste it all. I am trying not to gain too much weight or my clothes won't fit me!

Love to all of you, Bea
