YEAR 3 A- Our friends from the United States

Year 3 students have new friends in the United States. We have linked our classes and we are exchanging letters.

Our new penpals are from a city called Lebanon, in the state of Pennsylvania. We have learned that the United States are in the continent called America. They are living in North America. We live in another continent called Europe. There is a big ocean in the middle between our continents. It is the Atlantic Ocean.

If you want to see pictures and learn from their town:  Lebanon city


With Google maps you will be able to go and see their streets. Click on this link:  Walking in Lebanon, PA, USA


If you want to see what their school looks like, please, go to:  Union Canal Elementary School

Ylias, you are now very young to have a blog. You need to wait. You need to be older. You can participate in this blog, ok?

victor martinez arbones

Teacher said...

Thanks Víctor. My favourite animal is the koala.

Next week I'll ask you some questions about animals. Remember this article is about our friends in the USA. Maybe you can ask something about their town or their country.

The capital of the UK is Washinton bc.

Remember Aarón, the capital of the UK (United Kingdom) is London.
The capital of the USA (United States of America is Washington DC).

Do you KNOW? DC means Washington District of Columbia.
It is called Washington in honour of the first American president: President George Washington. Then, the name District of COLUMBIA, I've read that Columbia was in honour to the explorer Cristopher Columbus (Cristobal Colón in Spanish.) So, there is a little bit of Spanish in that name. We find other Spanish names in the United States like: San Francisco, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Alamo, San Antonio, Nevada... And it is because the Spanish conquerors visited those places after 1492 (when Cristopher Columbus arrived to America).

Thanks for writing from Lebanon! I will read your comment with my students. They will be happy! I hope you can show your students in class, they can also write if they wish.
By the way, we received your letters last week. We are preparing something for your class.
Enjoy this week!

Thank you! I am now trying this from school and I think this is really cool! Can all the students post a blog at the same time to their pen pal on here?

Teacher said...

Hello Ardie, Yes, if you want I can write another entry and your students and mine could send a message to each other using the blog. It has to be as a comment though... Each one of your students can write a comment. I can do another article and it will appear just at the beginning of the blog... so you don't have to go and scroll down.
