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.

MY VISIT WITH DAVIDE




3rd FEBRUARY 2009

DEAR FRIENDS,
I’VE BEEN WITH A NEW FRIEND, DAVIDE, FOR THREE DAYS.
LAST THURSDAY HE TOOK ME HIS HOME AND I MET HIS FAMILY: HIS MOTHER RITA, HIS FATHER ALBERTO AND HIS SISTER VIVIANA.
AS SOON AS VIVIANA SAW ME SHE SOON HUGGED ME AS IF I WERE A PRESENT FOR HER.
SHE IS VERY KIND TO ME AND SHOWED ME HER BEDROOM WHERE WE PLAYED WITH HER TOYS.
IN THE EVENING WE ALL HAD A STEAK AND SOME FRUIT FOR DINNER AND THEN DAVIDE TOLD ME SOME FAIRY TALES. AFTER THAT DAVIDE SHOWED ME HIS COLLECTION OF FOOTBALLERS CARDS AND FINALLY WE WENT TO BED.
YESTERDAY AFTERNOON DAVIDE BOUGHT SOME NEW PICTURE CARDS OF ITALIAN FOOTBALLERS AND LET ME STICK THEM ON HIS CARDS ALBUM.
THIS AFTERNOON DAVIDE AND I WENT FOR A WALK AND WE TOOK SOME PHOTOS.
DAVIDE INTRODUCED ME TO SOME OF HIS FRIENDS AND THEN WE WENT TO A BAR TO HAVE A HOT CHOCOLATE… VERY YUMMY!

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE LATELY?
MRS ANDRIULO TOLD ME THAT YOU HAVE ALREADY SENT YOUR BOX TO ITALY AND WE’LL PROBABLY RECEIVE IT ON ST. VALENTINE’S DAY.
I HOPE I’LL GET IT SOON!

LOVE, TED

Hi Rosaland,
I'm your penpal Ludovica. Yes, in my schoolthere are special rules. For example we have to arrive on time at school, we don't wear a school uniform, but we have to wear suitable clothes, we have to spend the break in our classroom. Besides we are expelled from school if we use the mobile at school or if we fight.

Hugs,
Ludo

Hi Risaland,
Ted is holding an album of football players cards. Collecting cards is one of the most favourite boys' hobbies here. Catania is an Italian football club and its name derives from Catania, a beautiful city in Sicily, a lovely island in the South of Italy.

Write soon,

Davide

We had a snow blizzard here on Friday. It was very cold. Yesterday it was warm and all the snow melted. The students are taking their mathematics tests for our state. They have been studying very hard and want to do a good job. We had our spring break in March and had a week out of school. I went to Dallas, Texas to see my brother and to go to a museum. I will post about it. Also, Bea gets to meet my new puppy tonight! I hope she likes the puppy.
Love to you, Mrs. Carmichael
