Fun with Snow and Hot tea from Russia

It is a precious and full of fun lesson from our Russian classpals. They introduced snow, how they had fun making snowmen and how they played with snow during this white season. They also demostrated us the hot tea tradition in Russia. The silver tea kettle "samovar" caught our eyes and we found it very beautiful and very special. What a great lesson from Russia!!! Thanks, kids! You have done a great job!

6-4's and Svetlana's Class (Russia-Taiwan 2012)

Ms. Hong,homeroom teacher of 6-4 and the class (30 pupils age 11-12) received many pretty and original drawings from Svetlana's Class. They made several short video tapes to response and also drew some pictures to introduce our city and our country for our friends in Russia. Hope you enjoy these videos and they are making some very small toys for you and will show you how to play with them in next tape recording. They will send you all their handcraft to you after they finish the rest of the work. Have great time enjoy your companions' greetings in another side of the world.

Skype with Daria's Class

Today our skype guest was Lin-lin from Taiwan. She is an English teacher at elementary school. She can speak Chinese, Taiwanese, English and a little Spanish. Her hobby is swimming, reading novels and listening to the radio. She told us that in Taiwan it only snows in the mountains. Lin-lin has never been to Russia, but she would like to visit Saint-Petersburg, and Ulyanovsk, too.

Lin-lin, nice to meet you and hope to talk to you again soon!
