Spring Greetings

Hello and Happy Spring!
Things are starting to warm up here and the snow is melting! Our temperature is finally above freezing (32 F). My students have written some responses to your students, as well as a few with some general information. What is the weather like for you at this time of the year?
Our school year ends at the end of May. I hope to have a few more exchanges with you before that time.
Da-svi-da-niya,

Hi Ann,
I ride my bike instead of rollerblading. I go everywhere with my friends in the summer. My favorite book is called Warriors. The author is Erin Hunter. It is about cats and they fight each other and have separated a forest into 4 different clans. In school my favorite subject is Math. We are doing positive and negative numbers. What is your favorite subject in school? What sports do you play there?
Your pen-pal, McKenzie

I am 12 years old. My favorite book is InkHeart. Yes, I think that it would be really cool to visit Russia. Is there anything really cool to see in Russia? Is it nice there?

Hi,
I am Lauren and I am 12 years old. I have a brother and 2 dogs named Boomer and Buttercup. I am in gymnastics. I can almost do a backflip. Do you do gymnastics in Russia? I love volleyball. Do you play any sports?

Hello,
My name is John Henry. I have one sister, a mom, a dad, a cat named Nick and a dog named Ruby. I am 12 years old and I am in the 7th grade. My dad is in the Air Force, and that means we move around a lot. I used to live in Valdosta, Georgia. Now I live in Grand Forks, North Dakota. I like to play football, basketball, and I also like to wrestle.
What are some of your favorite sports? Do you have any pets like me? What kind of music do you like to listen too?
I hope to hear back from you soon.

Hey Arevik!
Oh, that is very cool. We have one class for French, Latin, German, and Spanish. In German I can say a lot of numbers and ich liebe dich. It means I love you - ha, ha. What do you do for your national holidays in Russia? What does Russia look like? Can you send pictures? That would be great! I have one older brother finishing high school. My favorite actress would probably be Amanda Bynes. My favorite movies are Quest for Camelot and Radio. Do you have a favorite movie or actor? Do you like to read often? I don't. Talk to you again soon.
Your Friend,
Brianna
