Friendship, Blogging, and Learning

This year has been an exciting one! Back in January, Theo joined our class. He and his family moved here from France, and Theo knew very little English. He has made tremendous progress in a few short months!

Theo and his mom came in recently, and they shared information about France. Here is a photo from their presentation. Notice his classmates from France in the background! After, everyone enjoyed some homemade crepes!

Mrs. Yollis has been getting emails for Theo from his friends in France. His French classmates are learning English as well. Here is one of the letters:

Hello Théophie,

How are you? Do you like living in Los Angeles? What's your favourite colour? My favourite colours are blue and purple. What's your favourite animal? My favourite animals are  dolphin , horse and dog. Do you understand everything  in English?

We are hoping that Theo's French classmates will leave comments here, and we can correspond on the blog. To correspond is to communicate, usually via letter. However, we will use our comment section! 

A Beautiful Gift From Russia!

Mrs. Yollis and her class are friends with Lyudmila and her class in the small town of  Kansk in Russia.

Today they received a special package from their blogging buddies!

Inside of the box were several lovely gifts! Chocolates, candies, a matryoshka, postcards, books, and a wonderful Russian flag!

Mrs. Yollis and her class feel so lucky to have such wonderful blogging friends!

Do you know any facts about Kansk, Russia?

How far away are they? 

What timezone are they in? Would we be able to Skype with them?
