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, NOEMY and KIMBERLY






7th March 2009

Dear Friends,
This morning, Noemi, a student of “3 G” took me her home. Noemi’s mum was very happy to see me again, we had first met in October so now she wanted to know something about my staying in Italy. I told her of the wonderful friends that are hosting me, of the beautiful experiences I’m living here. I’m a bit “Italian” now.
Kimberly, Noemy’s sister, soon hugged me and asked why I had taken so long to visit her again. I explained that all the students almost fight to take me their home and now there are the students of 2^ G that are also taking part in the project.
Lunch was ready so we ate together and then we took Kimberly to school at about 3:00 p.m. When we got home again I asked Noemy for the name of the yellow flowers that were in the vase on the table. She told me they are “mimosa” and they are the flowers to celebrate women on Women’s Day . On 8th march of every year men give women a bunch of “mimosa” to express his gratitude and love to them.
After that we went into Noemy’s room and she took me a lot of photos while I was playing cards, and while I was playing with Kimberly’s toys. I really had a great fun when I saw a mini motorbike: I couldn’t help riding it. How wonderful!!! I spent a great day with Noemy and her family, I like them all a lot, and I hope I’ll be again with them very soon.

I love you so much,
Ted

Uno-spanish for one.

2.Hows the weather over there?

Hi brooke,
I'm having a great time here!
Most of time Italian have pasta as main course, then they have steak, roast beef or fish and finally fruit for dessert. I think they have too much coffee.
Anyway Noemy's mother cooked "tortellini" (another type of pasta, dressed with cream, ham and Parmesan cheese) and steaks. We also ate some green salad and finally fruit.

I love you so much,
Ted

Yes my dear Bruce,
the bike was very cool and I'm going to borrow it from Noemy again because I like riding it very much!

Dear R.J.,
"UNO" is also Italian word for "one". Spanish and Italian are similar languages because both derive from Latin.
Love,
Alessia

Hey

It sounds like your having fun
over there in Italy.

I bet its fun to meet all the new people. I can see that you have a lot of new friends over there.

I've heard of "tortellini" I think thats what my mom made for us one time, it was good.

So have you done anything else exciting yet?

The game "Uno" is so much fun I win almost everytime I play it. haha! But they put up a good game though.

Whats your favorite game to play?

Love Justis M

Women's Day sounds like a wonderful time. Do you also celebrate Valentine's Day and Mother's Day? Mimosas are beautiful flowers you very lucky to have them growing in your area. Our flowers have not started growing here yet, it has been too cold. But now that spring is here we will have lots of beautiful plants. Soon it will be summer and school will be out for 2 months. How long is your summer vacation? Are the students there planning on going some place fun for the summer? Your country is very beautiful.
Ted, be a good boy and we will be seeing you soon. You have been so fortunate to see many students and the lovely sites of Italy.
Love to you all, Mrs. Carmichael
