Letter of Introduction
Hi! This is Mrs. Dalton's Class from Bowden, Alberta, Canada. Our global
address is 52N 114W. Bowden school is known for being the most
technologically advanced in Central Alberta. We are a farming community
rich in grain, cattle, and oil & gas reserves. Our GMT factor is -6 with
daylight savings time. Right now, the season is sort of fall and sort of
summer too. The weather fluctuates between cold and warm. Like just two
weeks ago our temperatures were at a steamy 25-30 degrees for the whole
week and even a few days into the next. Now, we have temperatures of about
1 degree to about 15 degrees. During this week, the temperature was about
22 and then it has been raining with temperatures of about 1-2 degrees. On
the first day of fall, Sept. 23, we were visited by an incredible
snowstorm! Weird, huh? Our school is just your regular technologically
advanced public school. It has 6 hour school days I think. Our class in
particular is a room called a model tech room. These rooms have 8-9
computers and they are very modern. The computers are used for everything
from the internet to typing. We go to school every week from Monday to
Friday and sometimes we have early dismissals due to teacher meetings. We
don't go to school to about two weeks during Christmas holidays and we also
have Easter and two months summer holidays. We to school from 9:00AM to
3:25PM. The youngest person in the classroom is 12 and the oldest is 15.
Some of the things that the people enjoy doing in our class are hockey,
TaeKwon-Do, 4-H: Horse clubs and Beef clubs, piano, swimming, and skate
boarding.
