If you find this spring frog, you are on your way to finding one cool picture for the spring scavenger hunt. Make sure you take some time to look at this blog before you go onto the next. There are some great entries from our friends in Taiwan! Stay for awhile and learn about the culture and wonderful people at Raey Guang Elementary in Pingtung, Taiwan.

Our sister school, Raey Guang Elementary, has successfully loaded photos, videos and texts to our common blog, BLOGPALS: Schools that Blog Together, Learn Together.
Please visit the blog to see how the students in Taiwan learn conversational English. The examples posted include “How to check out a library book” and “How to explain you are not feeling well.” You can also see photos of students in Grade 6, Class 2. They visit our blogs often. Enjoy.

Joan Jang, a student from Taiwan who attends Purdue University, shared through email that we had made the news in Taiwan! Mrs. Yu Wen, the principal of our sister school, Raey Guang Elementary, was interviewed about our partnership. The photo in both articles shows her holding our student artwork (a gift from Georgetown to Raey Guang) that was presented during her visit to our school in October 2008.
Both articles cite our blogs–the one you are viewing right now and our blogs set up for SCHOOLS THAT BLOG TOGETHER (communication between our two schools) and GEORGETOWN ELEMENTARY BLOG (our school blog). The articles (below), are in Chinese and English. I wanted you to be able to see both versions–and appreciate the beauty of the written Mandarin language. Please be aware that the English translation is close…but not exactly true to the elegance of the Chinese language. The message of collaboration and appreciation of both countries and cultures is strong and clear in both languages. Enjoy! Mrs. Reagan

I have added all of the RGES staff and parent emails to the Family Blog updates. As I receive Georgetown parent requests to be penpals, I will also add your emails as well. Thank you for participating in this project.
