How fabulous this is. Thanks so much for sharing from Manhattan! What an incredible way to evoke questions and sharing amongst our schools. Great pictures that will help us compare rural and urban settings. Greg
We like your city. We like your book. We like your pictures. We like your red door. We have a silver door. We like all of your buildings. We don't see tall skinny houses like yours. How do you get to school. Most of us walk and a few of us take a school bus. Mrs. Harrison and Mrs. Coombes' Class
I liked the buildings and the houses. - T.B. I lived in an apartment building that had ladders too. - A.C. I liked the fire hydrant because it was black and ours is yellow and some red. - L.D. I liked when you showed another school. - R.F.I liked your buildings because they had ladders on them. - J.S.
Here are some connections we have to your book: When I looked out the window of the CN Tower I saw fog like that too. - C.M. (in reference to the steam from the laundromat). In Toronto, there are other parking garages. - E.S. Sometimes, when I go to the airport, I park in parking garages too and they are under ground! - I.D.
Here are some questions we have for you: Why do you have ladders on your buildings? - I.D. Why do you take a bus to school? - E.S. What is a butcher? We don't have those. - J.S. Why do you have a laundromat because we have washers and dryers at home. - A.C. We looked at the Christmas trees so do you celebrate christmas? - everyone
We would like to hear from you and maybe see you over Skype! From, Ms. Schmidt and Ms. Theis' Kindergarten Class Lorna Jackson Public School Woodbridge, Ontario, Canada
Thank you for reading our book! We will post answers to your questions next week. We are looking forward to seeing your school and would love to be Skype pen pals.
Our teacher Ms. Babalis got really excited to see all of the pictures of New York City. She said that she had many connections from T.V. shows and movies that she has seen from New York. She also remembered all of the taxis and tall buildings from her visit there.
Your book also reminded us of a story we read called "Knuffle Bunny." The neighbourhood looks so much like yours. We wondered if the author Mr. Mo Willems is from New York too!
Here are some comments made by our students: D.B.: I like all of the buildings! T.M. I like the whole book, because it's different from where we live. A.S. I like the whole book, because it looks like the whole book is from Knuffle Bunny. E.Y. I have been on a taxi before! M.Y. When I go in a car is see lots of taxis too! E.H. Why does your school look different from ours? Why does our school look different from theirs? J.A. I wonder why there are so many tall buildings. T.M. I wonder why their sidewalk is different than ours.
Ms. Babalis wondered if your teacher lives close to your school, and how she gets to work. Ms. Babalis lives in Richmond Hill and takes a car to work.
We can't wait to hear your responses!
