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.

ST. VALENTINE'S DAY



15th February 2009

Dear Friends,
yesterday was St. Valentine’s Day and I was sad because my friend Serena told me that St. Valentine is the Patron Saint of lovers and unfortunately I haven’t got a “girlfriend”! Perhaps… if Bea weren’t so far! She is really a beautiful bear and I miss her a lot..............sigh!!! :(
I spent all the morning playing the guitar and singing love songs! Serena tried to cheer me up saying that we could consider St. Valentine as the “Friendship day” and thank goodness, I was relieved to hear that. She kept her promise because in the afternoon we went to a bar with her friends and had a delicious cup of hot chocolate and cream. After that we went to the park and took some photos. Serena also introduced another teddy bear called Michael to me. He is very nice and made me laugh a lot with his funny jokes. As I came back home another new friend named “Qua Qua the Duck” kept me good company. She told me that she is a really good cook, that she is especially excellent at cooking pastries and she has even written a book of recipes! I thought she was teasing me but she promised she would prepare something special for me next days.

Mmmh, I’m looking forward to tasting her table delicacies!

How did you spend your St. Valentine’s Day? Did you miss me?

I love you so much, Ted
