On Friday I delivered penpal letters to the grade 7 class at Good Hope School from Sarah Slywka's grade 5 Balgonie class.
Several of the children took turns reading out loud the sweet notes from their Canadian friends.
The Zambian kids were truly excited to receive these letters. The letters stimulated much discussion - i.e. what is snow, what is ringette, why so much talk of the cold weather?, what is valentine's day?, what is a $5.00 bill? what is an "etch-a-sketch", what is Balgonie?
Thank you Balgonie Elementary school and particularly the grade 5 class for educating our Zambian kids about Canada and for taking a genuine interest in this group of kids!
This class was left with the assignment of constructing letters to return with Richard and Sue at the end of May.
