Hi, Karoline!

This is Miss Christian. We are all missing you very, very much. It's just not the same at AASSP without you. Are you enjoying school? I'm sure that you're doing well in all your classes. Is it strange or better now that you don't have to think in English?

I have been trying to e-mail you! I will try again as soon as Yahoo is working. I hope it will be tomorrow.

Please leave a comment to let me know you read this!

Love,
Miss Christian ;>

Building A Castle

Building a castle is fun but hard. It’s hard because it never wants to stick. A castle has 1 bedchamber, 4 towers, 1 kitchen, 1 gatehouse, 1butery, 1courtyard, 1fierplace, 1drawbridge and 1 moat. Usually it has 2 floors. A castle is big. A king lives in a big castle. A noble lives in a small castle. Then we have to paper mache it. It makes a big mess. Then we painted it. I named it Sofia.

My castle is named Sofia. It has4 towers,2 are dungen1 is the knights room the 4^th one is the serfs room. The king sleeps in the Graet bedchamber.The king keeps his close in the wardrobe. The bishop is inchardge of the chaple.They eat in the graet hall.The coock is in the kitchen.By the fireplace it’s warm.

Today was the opening of second grade's living museum. We've been so busy getting ready for it that we've neglected our blog! In the following posts, you'll see the children in their countries. They researched the way children live in their country, wrote a speech, painted a backdrop and put together a costume. The speeches with each picture are the ones written by the second graders.

I am SO proud of all their hard work! Everyone who has visited our museum has LOVED it. We hope you enjoy this virtual tour of the museum.

India

Hello we live in India. Families are very important. In families not just parents and children live together but aunts and uncles and cousins as well. Fifteen people can live in a house.

Our houses are made of mud and straw huts. They have no water and electricity in their homes. Three families can live in one house.

The food is very spicy. They use lots of curry and masala. Many Indians are vegetarians.

Most people wear light, loose clothes because it’s so hot. Indian girls like to wear bracelets.

Religion is very important to Indian people. Most people are Hindus.

They like to play cricket.

Ghana

In Ghana, we have a festival called Homowo. It starts in May. For one month we don’t drum or dance. Later, there is a big parade. I like to see all the people dancing and hear them singing songs. Some older people find the person they will marry. In August, there is a big feast! We have parties, play games, and do some sports.

Homowo means “Hooting at Hunger”. All of our singing and festivals chase away hunger so we will have lots to eat.(by Anton)

Hi. My name is Kongoo. In my school my parents have to pay for the books I write in. We don’t have a lot of money, so it’s hard to pay for our books. My sister is almost 12 so she will be leaving school soon. We’re lucky girls who get to go to school! Many girls do not.

After school I like to play hopscotch or make dolls out of clay. The sun dries them and then I can play with them. My sister likes to paint on trees. I like to have picnics with my family but that does not happen very often because we need to think about the 25 other people in our house. The bad thing about dinner is that we get to eat the same thing every day. But some families are even poorer than we are. Sometimes they don’t eat dinner.(by Alice)

When I go to bed |I like to listen to the drums and music. When I dream, I like to dream about not taking such a long time to go to school!

Russia

Privyet! Oo meenya zavoot Anton. I live in Moscow in a big building on the ninth floor. My flat is not very big. But it is very comfortable.

I go to school. I am seven and in grade one. There are 30 students in my class. My lessons are 45 minutes. At the end of each lesson a school bell rings and we have a break for 10 minutes. I start school at 9:00. I have 4 or 5 lessons each day.

For breakfast I have blini with tea.

In summer I wear t-shirts and shorts. In winter I wear sweaters and coats and hats.

I like to play Battleship and football. (by Chris)

England

I’m Paige. I live in London, England. Children in England usually go to school by car. In some schools, there are swimming pools! Children wear a uniform to school. They have different uniforms for summer and winter. Even the girls wear a tie to school. They like to have a snack after school.

Cricket is from England. Children and adults like to play it. They also like to play football, watch tv, and play video games.

(by Chea Ryung)

Brazil

Ola! I’m Juan. I come from Brazil. I’ll tell the things I know from my country!

I usually wear wear shirts and pants. My sister wears shirts and skirts. It’s hot in Brazil and these clothes keep us cool.

I live in the city. My city is Rio de Janeiro. It’s the capital of Brazil. We moved here from the country so that I can go to a good school. My dad drives a taxi and works in one of the big hotels.

I love to play and watch soccer. My favorite Brazilian soccer stars are Pele, Rinhaldo and Rinaldo.

I like it when it’s Carneval, because we like to dance and do parades. People come from all over the world to go to Carnival!

Thank you for coming to the Brazil corner, enjoy the next corner in “The Living Museum”! (by John)
