WHAT WE REMEMBER ABOUT OUR YEAR IN 21: “The children in our room were from nine different countries.” “We worked at our own speed and we did our best.” “We acted like second graders and listened to directions.” “We were lucky because we carved a pumpkin, and Mrs. Merritt baked us a pumpkin pie.” “We had our special bulletin board, and we got to change it every month.” “We played clock bingo!” “We had a very artistic class. We liked to act in plays and to draw pictures of cars, people, animals and schools.” “We were nice to each other.” “We learned new things daily. Mrs. Merritt taught us good.” John Adam Jarrko Aaltonen Rachel Atwell Stella Barbaro Hasan Bartaineh Erica Coblentz Tobias Gschwendtner Alia Hameed Matt Harrington Chris Lichtenwalter Tim Meyer Berk Ongan Ann Prothro Faisal Shah Dean Soulellis Julie Sturge Swapna Tamhane Tomoko Tanaka Shuchi Vyas Tommy Wu 21 205

We thoght we were a very special group. We were nice to each other, getting along well and showing consideration to others. In our class we had special friends. Brenna and Andrew were super helpers to Heather McGoff when her leg was broken. Heather was very brave going up and down the stairs. We liked to do the hard work of Grade 2. Writing numbers and telling time were fun things to do. Phonics was fun too. We liked celebrating holidays together and learning about each other’s special celebrations. We got to know customs from all over the world. Hythm, Charlotte, Maha, Ernest, Mohammed, Jayeta, Omar, Michelle and Adnan spoke more than one language, and we learned from them. Jason loved to share stories, and Heather J. showed us her dolls. John told us jokes. Finally we all liked our teachers — some loved them.

Our class was different because we did different things. Our class was special because we had a very nice teacher, and she let us knit and sew. Also we learned about all the countries in our class. We also had an international lunch with the foods from the countries in our class. We had children from ten countries. 2J-2J-2J--2J-2J-2J Ashfaq Mohammed gives an oral report.
