  1. We are very excited to see your comment, but unfortunately the colored type is too light for us to read it. Is there anyway you could change to a darker color and repost. We really want to hear your answers and send another comment back to you.

    • Oh, I am sorry about that. Here is the just text version :). Thank you.

      Hi Phoenix Kids,
      We finally worked on our reply to your comments.
      We are in Early Childhood Learning Center. We are 4 and 5 year olds. Our class name is The Happy Monkeys.
      We are learning about bar graphs and we decided making one to answer your question about our favorite country. We got the flags of the countries where Bessie will be and put our name above our favorite one. We noticed that China was the one that had more names and the tallest bar of all. We live in China so this is an important country for us.

      We will shared what we learned during our international celebration. We only studied some of the countries where Bessie will be since our study was about our class nationalities.

      We know that in India they make beautiful Rangoli to decorate the floor in front of the house.

      In China we eat Moon Cakes during the Moon Festival. The families get together at night and watch the moon. Also, we learned how to make paper cutting to decorate the houses.

      In United States people eat Mac & Cheese, they bake yummy chocolate chip cookies, they dance the square dance and they like playing Duck, duck, goose.

      In Japan, they have a very fun game called “Smash the Watermelon” You get your eyes cover, you spin around and then walk towards a watermelon that is on the floor holding a baseball bat. Then, you just try to smash the watermelon and break it into pieces to share with your family and friends. They play this game in summer at the beach.

      About Australia we learned that people there like playing different instruments. They use some clapping sticks to make music and they decorate them with designs that usually include dots.

      About Canada we learned that it is a very clean country with beautiful nature. We also learned that it can get windy there.

      About Germany, we learned they have a beautiful autumn with nice colors. They have purcupines and deer. Also, we learned that they like making kites and flying them outside but just for a little time because it gets too cold.

      What do you know about the countries where Bessie will go? Can you tell us about your country?
      Does your class have a name? Are you the tigers, the lions, the giraffes, the elephants?
      How old are you? Are you 6 or 7?
      Do you celebrate Halloween? Are you going to trick or treat? What are you going to dress up as?

      Maybe you can visit our class blog and see some of the videos we have about our international week. It was during the second part of September. http://share.sis.org.cn/lvargas/
      Do you have a class blog we could visit?

      Thank you,
