Dear Felicia,
 Hi!! How are you? I am fine. My name is Cate Light. I have read your
letter. Is Benni the Bear really cool? I was so excited when I heard
that Benni the Bear. I think that he looks so cute. I am looking at his
picture right now. How heavy is the box?  Can you describe  Iceland's
flag? What kind of extra clothes did he have?  Did he like the heat in
Texas?

C-ya,
Cate Light

Dear Matt,
   Hello my name is April Bailey. I'm 11 and a half years old. I'm in the
6th grade. I'm a girl. I cannot wait for Benni to come to our school.
What kinds of things did you do with Benni?  Did you take him anywhere?

I have to go to gym class now.

Dear Paola,
     Hi! My name is Teena. At first I thought someone would bring Benni
to us. He does not talk does he? What kind of clothes were in his box?
Were they really small? What colors are on the Icelandic flag? I could
not read a book in Icelandic. I can't wait till he comes to our school. I
will be happy!!!

                      Write Back Soon!

                          Yours truly,
                          Teena

Dear Stephanie,
     	Hi!!  My name is Stephanie, too.  How old are you?  I'm 11.  I
read what you wrote about Benni the Bear.  I am very excited about
receiving Benni.  Now that I read what you wrote I'm even more
excited!:-)  Can you give a description of what Benni looks like?  My
friend said that her brother did something like this before.  It was a
D.A.R.E. bear though.  I agree that it was nice of people to buy things
just for Benni.  What did you mean when you said that you thought it was
nice of classes in Iceland to send samples to other classes?  I wonder
what we are going to send to other people.  We have been thinking about
it but we haven't had a lot of ideas.  I hope that you can answer some of
my questions.

Dear Will,
	Hi!!  My name is Stephanie.  I agree with you.  The project is a
good idea.  It is a good way to learn about other places around the
world.  What things did your class put in?  Are you supposed to put in
things about near where you live or around where you live?  I think water
from Lake Michigan was a good idea.  Maybe we could put pictures of the
ducks and geese that we have around here and put them in.  We'll have to
keep thinking!!

Dear Felicia,
     Hello.  My name is Caitlin Rimkis.  I am one of the many
students at Delmar Elem. that is anxiously waiting for Benni to
come.  He will be here sometime in May.  I was wondering if you
could give me some ideas about what we can do with him when he gets here.
Can you write back and give me some ideas??

Dear Friends of Benni,
    Hi!!  How are you?  We have been waiting patiently waiting for Benni
to come to Delmar Elementary.  We are marking down the places that Benni
has been to on a map.  We have been wondering what to put in Benni's box
and wondering what has already been put in it.  Benni is coming here to
see us (Delmar Elementary School) May 12th through the 14th.  Do you
people who have seen Benni like to have a teddy bear traveling around the
world and even visiting you ?  I love the idea.  We can't find that Mount
Belview place.  Could someone help us?  Well, I have to go.  Bye Bye!!

PS - Write Back                    Sincerely,
                                   Ashleigh DeBord

Preparing for Benni

From: Patricia Weeg (pweeg@shore.intercom.net)
Subject: Benni:  excitement!
To: KIDPROJ@LISTSERV.NODAK.EDU

Friends,

The Delmar students are preparing for Benni's arrival.  We have located
the cities he has visited on our wall map of the USA and we stretched yarn
from city to city.  Benni surely made a zig-zag across the USA!  Our
students braistormed alternate routes for Benni and gave reasons for their
decisions.  We also thought about the pros and cons of our place in line
to receive Benni.  We will see all of the contents from the other schools
(the kids like this!) but we also have the most postage to pay to send
Benni back to Iceland. %-)  A realistic math lesson...  All in all we are
glad we will see Benni in the very near future and are most grateful to
"Mama Bear" (Rosa) for doing this project.

Hmm... what will we put in his box.... hmmm.... The children are working
on this now.

Warm bear hugs,
Patti

Benni is Coming
                    *****************

                                  Lisa Wright


      Benni the bear is coming all the way from Washington
State!  He has been in California, Illinois, Texas(3 times),
New York, Missouri, Washington(3 times), and is soon coming
to Delmar! We will then send him to Iceland and they will
send him to Canada. Benni is originally from Iceland and has
been sent all around North America. Everywhere Benni goes
someone puts a few things in his box describing the area
around them.  Benni has quit a collection of things from
across North America.

   We wonder what kinds of things people have been putting in
his box. We think that there will things like:

           1.) Of course BENNI!!!!!
           2.) A Snow globe from Iceland
           3.) A horse shoe from Texas
           4.) A miniture Statue of Liberty from New Yourk
           5.) A bottle of spring water from Iceland
                   .........And many many more!

Thank you for reading this report on Benni the Bear! :-)
