"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbour, catch the trade winds in your sails.

Explore. Dream. Discover."

Dear Canada,

Last week, our article in our Time for Kids magazine at school was about CANADA. We talked all week with the kids about Canada, the land, the food, the animals, you name it we talked about it... To finish up the lesson I decided to have my kids write letters to Canada. Then, being the genius that I am, I posted them on Facebook, and asked all of my lovely Canadian Facebook friends for a small favor. Luckily, everyone was very gracious and sent WONDERFUL replies to my students! Here are a few of the letters of my students and pictures of them: 
 Alex
 Anakin
 Doreen
 Jiwoo
Millo


This past Monday I printed out the replies and handed them out to the kids. They were SOOOOOOOOOOOO excited! They had so much fun reading the letters and passing them around the classroom reading what other people had written. I would definitely say the assignment was a success! 

Thanks again to everyone who helped me out by replying!
