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 IS A CHAMPION!




Dear friends,
I’ve stayed with Serena for three days.
I’m having a great fun with her, her brother Matteo and their dog Birba. I love staying with them and I’m crazy about their mum because she is a very good cook. I’m very fond of her “FOCACCIA AL POMODORO” (it is a kind of pizza with tomato on it) . You should eat it, it’s yummy and I’m sure you would like it very much.
Every day I help Matteo with his English homework because I’m very good at English and he lets me play with his playstation. We also enjoy ourselves doing puzzles!
The most exciting experience I’ve had with Serena and Matteo was the day before yesterday when we went to the swimming pool. I enjoyed myself swimming. There was a swimming competition and Matteo won! Unfortunately I was the last one…sigh! By the way, you’re right! I’m working out very hard and I’m a very athletic bear now!
This morning I went shopping with Serena’s mother. We bought some eggplants, ham, and mozzarella cheese then we fixed “parmigiana” for lunch. Yummy, yummy!!! This afternoon I learned to play PSP (Play Station Portable) with Matteo. Later I had a snap and after that Serena saw I was sad because I miss you very much, so she made me laugh and cuddled me a lot and my homesickness was over.

What’s going on over there?
I’m looking forward to reading your comments!

I love you very much,
Ted
