Two Delta High School Exchange Students visited Mrs. Putt and Mrs. Toney’s 4th grade classrooms this week.  Isabella is from Brazil and Frederick is from Denmark.  The 4th grade students asked great questions and learned a lot about both countries.  In Brazil the students attend school for ˝ day, have no lockers or buses, and they stay in one room and the teachers rotate to teach the different subjects.  In Denmark they walk to school from their village and the school day is longer because they stay until 4:00.   Soccer is popular in both countries and badminton is a favorite of Frederick’s who, at 12 years old, was the badminton champion of Denmark.  Isabella told us all about the tropical weather and the Amazon River in Brazil, South America. Frederick shared a picture of the Little Mermaid and told us about Hans Christian Anderson.   It was a great afternoon and we learned a lot from both of these wonderful young people.
