two adult delegates

has
been working very hard to prepare for our
upcoming
exchange to Australia. We wil
l
be attending Mount View
Primary
School in Glen Waverley, Victoria, Australia, near
Melbourne,
and staying with host families there. We are leaving
on
April 13th for
Sydney, which is fall time in the southern
hemisphere,
and will have a few days there be
fore
going on to Melbourne.
We will return on May 8th.
Our host students will be
visiting
Angevine next fall, so all of our AMS students will have the
opportunity
to get to know these Australian exchange students
and
their teachers! Our
students have been
meeting
regularly and are very busy
preparing
presentations on various topics relating to Colorado and
the
United States. Each student will present a mini
lesson
to four
grade
level classes. We have many interesting topics for our
Aussie
friends, including:
All
about Colorado
,
American
Folk Music
,
US
Architecture
,
Our
National Parks
,
Environmental
Issues in our
Country
and our Community
American
Pop Culture through the
Decades
,
US
Sports
,
US
Geography and Climate
,
US
Holidays and
the
American Civil War.
Our
amazing student delegates will also
be
presenting a 30 minute skit “Road Trip!
–
A
Journey across the
USA”
to the entire school (there are over 1,000 students at Mount
View)!
We’re so excited about this incredibly opportunity and all
of
the new places
we will see and the new people we will meet.
We’re
also very excited that our beloved principal, Mr. Medina,
who
has been instrumental in bringing this program to Angevine
and
an avid supporter of ISSE for many years, will be going on the
trip
with us for
the first two weeks! We will be setting up a
website
to keep you updated on our adventures, so stay tuned!
