Dear Class,
Hej (hello) from Sweden!!! Sorry it has taken me so long to
write! Ms. Rogers, Max, and I have been so busy exploring Linkoping
(Leen-cha-ping), Sweden! It is such a beautiful town! We got to visit the
Linkoping Cathedral and light a candle by the Tree of Life!! Each piece of
glass fruit on the tree represents a different virtue!
School in Sweden is very different than school in America. All the teachers wear jeans everyday and the students call them by their first names! Ms. Rogers’ school is very special. The students there have to audition to be accepted. Every student has to be very good at singing. They take many music classes and many of their classes use music to learn about English, reading, science, and even math! The students are very nice here and they really seem to like Ms. Rogers, even though she can’t sing as well as them. I think you all would really like the students here! They watch American TV shows and they love drawing, horseback riding, and American pop music. Here is a picture of Folkungaskolan (FOLK-oon-gahs-skoo-lahn). The students here are all very excited to Skype with you! But they don’t have Activboards here and their computers are very old. Hopefully we can still get Skype to work while we’re here! Have a great day! Next time I write it will be about our trip to Amsterdam!
