At New Albany High School in central Ohio, we are interested in
corresponding with any and all high school faculties that are currently
engaged in or planning interdisciplinary units of study that cross the
traditional academic disciplines. We are currently in the process of a
total restructuring of our traditional comprehensive 9-12 high school
and would like the opportunity to work with others that are undergoing a
similiar change or have recently done so. If interested in a dialog,
please drop us a note on the K12 Net. Thank you!!

To Terry Bowden
From Lorna Kropp + 4th grade, Discovery School
Subject: Comparison NZ and NA
 
Thank you for your reply to our letter. We compared the size of New Zealand
with the size of the USA. We found that we could fit almost 35 New Zealands
into the size of the USA.  We measured New Zealand and USA maps with string
and then estimated distances using the scale printed on each map. We estimate
that the furthest someone in NZ has to go to get to the Ocean of major lake is 
100 km (62.1 miles). That  means you could get there and back easily within a
day. The closest ocean to us is 300 miles (482.7 km) west, the Pacific, on the 
Washington coast, or the Atlantic Ocean is approximately 2,400 miles east.
Eight of the ten people in our class have visited the ocean within the last 3
years. For us it takes a day of travel to get there. We estimate that New
Zealand's coastline is 1,500 miles. We measured 3,750 miles for the USA (along 
the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico and Pacific coast). That's a lot of coastline
for the size of your country!
 
How near to the seashore do you live? How often do you go to a beach? Do you
eat a lot of fish? What town do you live in? How many people live in your
town? What is the temperature there? We are beginning Fall and the temperature 
is 50-70 F. during the days. We started school 5 weeks ago (September - June). 
What is the school calendar in New Zealand?  Audrey commented that you may
have a strong sense of place in your country because you can probably know all 
the parts of it. We hope you will write back. 

Bye for now.
Lorna Kropp and the 4th graders

Hi Bob!
     My sixth graders are feverishly working on a Northampton, MA travel brochure to send to you. They are also writing letters to sixth graders. Since we are having difficulty setting up our modem at school, could we please have your mailing address so we can send you some letters? You are welcome to distribute the letters and brochures to whoever is interested in responding. Eventually they can respond directly via telecom and I'll print the letters at home. We plan to start our Canada Unit right after o
ur Election Unit. (The League of Women Voters bought us daily newspapers and provided us with a super curriculum.)
     Anyway, we'll also send you all of our Acid Rain data as soon as we start our unit. We have figured out out longitude and latitude to the nearest minute. It will be included in our brochures...can you send us yours so we can locate you on the map???
                             Thanks...Kathy

Dear Adrienne,
Elizabeth,  Will, Leslie, Roslyn Evan, Katie, and Mary.
   Iwas very pleased to receive your letter.  A city block can be as interesting as any park or garden.  If you look ( and from your letter I can see you have looked very hard) you can find some very amazing things.
It sounds like the plants are beginning to prepare for their winter sleep where you are.  Here the plants have been awaking from the long winter.  The apple in my backyard is beginning to bloom.  The flowers haven't blossomed quite yet but the buds in which they have been hiding through the winter have opened.
I went for a walk down to the lake near my home.  It is not a big lake but there were ducks, a big beautiful black swan, a silver seagull and two cormorants.  Cormorants are interesting birds.  They live on fish and when they swim most of their body floats under the water with only their long necks and heads looking out above.  The are good underwater swimmers and swim some distance under the water in search of  food.  They have to careful at the lake because every now and then they get all catch up in a f




ishing line.  It is very sad when this happens.
What color was the grasshopper that you saw?  How many legs did it have?  I just wonder how far a grasshopper can jump?
Cheers  Jimbo Down Under

Lorna,
thank you, and thanks to your class for all the work you have put
into studying this country. I am most impressed!
You have asked a lot of questions - here are my answers:
LK>How near to the seashore do you live?
About half a mile. It's a short walk to Cheltenham Beach,
which is about a mile long. At one end there are rocks, and
at the other end is North Head, a dormant volcano. Directly
out from the beach is Rangitoto Island, a landmark of Auckland,
another volcano with a crater at the top.
LK>How often do you go to a beach?
My family joined with 8 other local families yesterday. We went
for a beach walk from Takapuna Beach around some rocks to Milford
Beach. In summer we go to the beach about 3 times a week.
LK>Do you eat a lot of fish?
Until a few years ago, we could walk out on Cheltenham Beach and
collect a bucketfull of cockles in just a few minutes. But it got
too popular, and there are fewer these days. Fish is a major part
of the local diet, together with sheep meat (mutton) and steak (beef).
LK>What town do you live in?
I live in the suburb of Devonport, in Auckland.
LK>How many people live in your town?
There are 3.5 million people in New Zealand, over 800,000 in Auckland.
LK>What is the temperature there?
Typically it is 15 deg C which is 59 F by day at this time of year.
LK>We are beginning Fall and the temperature is 50-70 F. during
LK>the days.
We refer to Fall as Autumn. We are currently in Spring looking
forward to Summer, which comes at Christmas time.
LK>We started school 5 weeks ago (September - June).
LK>What is the school calendar in New Zealand?
NZ schools have breaks in May (2 weeks) between 1st and 2nd term,
July (1 week) mid term, August/September (2-3 weeks) between 2nd
and 3rd term, and then the Christmas break, (6 weeks) from
Christmas until the 1st week of February leading up to the 1st term.
LK>Audrey commented that you may have a strong sense of place in your
LK>country because you can probably know all the parts of it.
Audrey is obviously a thinker - what a bright comment! She might
be interested to know that we Kiwis also love to travel overseas,
probably because we feel isolated from the rest of the world.
LK>We hope you will write back.
My pleasure. Tell me, does it ever snow in Winter in Spokane?
What is the school calendar in your part of the world?

Now here is a coincidence. All the time I have been writing this,
there has been a film on TV, based on a true story, set in Spokane.
Unfortunately, it's not a very nice story.

This sounds perfect for what I have in mind!!  I teach English 9 and
have 61 freshmen in my three classes.  Our entire school is focusing on
the US elections for the next weeks.  Could we share information with
your classes about how our countries elections work?
    I am also excited about your survey and think we could have lots of
fun with this idea.  Perhaps we could print our comparisons in the
school newspaper.
    So let me know what you think!!  I am anxious to get started on this
project. 
 
Connie, it sounds like we can work together. I (Scott) will be working with our computer teacher on this. His name is Eldon Wyant. In the future, please send your messages to him and me. 
 
Here is what we have in mind. We're new to BBS's so there may be some problems. 
 
Could you send us a class list of all of your kids, and then we can match your students up with ous. We will then begin by having our kids send a letter to one of your students. The letter will contain the following things: a) Basic getting to know you chit chat
b) A individualized wreport about how Canadian elections work
c) A survey asking about important issues, inclusding your elections
Our kids are very knowledgeable about your elections because they watch t.v. on your major networks. We could really focus on the issues.

Marc--
    I already sent you a note yesterday, but am happy to hear this news!
Can we follow this form?  If you would use Channel 0 and post messages
to NAHS, we'll look for them.  WHat is the name of your school?  Maybe
at first we can address them to anyone in general, but once students
start writing to one another, they can be addressed to specific
individuals.  Does this make sense???

    So send us mail on Friday (To:  NAHS), and we will be happy to
reply!!  Again--I have 60+ freshmen.  This will be an open project, so
other schools will be free to jump in whenever.  I am very excited about
this!  My students will focus on the election at first, but hopefully
throughout the year they will develop some personal friendships.  Thanks
for your help.
