Håkon has arrived in Hawaii!

The students at Damsgård are SO excited about this project. We have done the same as Amy`s class according to "Shout it out" about our school, what "Far away" means to them and what they know about Hawaii.




And the day we shared the SMART amp workspace about "I am..." they really felt that our new friends on the other side of the world came closer.



Amy and I decided that we would choose a mascot from our country and send across the world. 

The mascot from Norway is a troll and 
we called him Håkon.






On sept 17th, he began his travel to Hawaii. My students were excited about how long it would take and what it did cost. Then they learned about paying for deliveries:) 

And we got suprised - it took just about 8 days!! And how cool wasn`t it when Amy took a video while her class opened the package and we could see their reactions!

In the box, together with Håkon, some students had written about TROLLS and why we called him Håkon. 

Now we are anxiously await to hear about and see pictures of, what experiences he has in Hawaii.





We have created a wall to collect what we learn in this project.
