A letter from our pen-pals in Zambia!

We received a letter from our pen-pals in Zambia this week! We learned many new things about this country. We learned more about the Victoria Falls and we also learned that it is very hot in Livingstone, the city where our pen-pals live. In fact, it is so hot that students take their shoes off in school! We do not do that in America.
We also learned that the schools in Zambia do not serve lunches so the students must bring their own.
We learned that some things are the same too. For example, they go on field-trips, just like we do at Shelburne Community School. They do not have a school bus, but take a very large truck! They also keep the alphabet on the walls of their classroom to help them spell and read. We have that in our classroom too.
The letter included many wonderful drawings of places in Livingstone. They are on display in our classroom. Please come and visit. We will write them back and include pictures of Shelburne.
