Spring Jeopardy

The spring arrived in the Mikes Kelemen High School Library too! 
In the Benjamin Franklin Club our  V-VIII grade students played a Spring Jeopardy with Courtney Brown. They enjoyed a lot the competition.
It is the first time when lower grades are playing jeopardy in English.

New name-New guest

The department which occupies with the American culture has got a new name from now on.
Benjamin Franklin is an important person in the history of humanity. 
It's a great honour for us. 

Our Benjamin Franklin Club's first guest was Jake Walters, Peace Corp volunteer.
He exchanged ideas about some aspects of morality with our students.

Flat Will and Flat Kati

A special guest arrived in our school library.
He is Flat Will and come from  Sunset Hills Elementary School / Omaha / NE / USA. 
Flat Will was painted by the readers of the American school library.
He will stay with us 2 weeks, during which we shall show to him our school library, our school and our town.
We have an exchange project with the Americans.
Our first grade students draw also little men, and the winner sent Flat Kati to Omaha.
We thank to Szőcs Torma Katalin, our English teacher, for cooperation!

Dr. Seuss in Mikes

On Dr. Seuss birthday (March the 2nd) we met with the readers of  Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. School Complex / Atlantic City / New Jersey.
Dr. Seuss for the Americans is like Benedek Elek and  Ion Creangă for us.
He wrote 44 books for children.
For his memory the National Education Association created the  Read Across America, which  is an annual reading motivation and awareness program in USA, that calls every child in every community to celebrate reading on March 2.
Our program was very interesting.
  First the students from  Atlantic City presented ''The Cat in the Hat" , the most important book of  Dr. Seuss. 

Then we were discussing about our schools, customs and  famous Afro-Americans.

The great surprise it was offered to us by  Mr. Lorenzo T. Langford, the mayor of Atlantic City, who not only greeted us, but he kindly answered to all our questions.
In this condition the time flew by. The Mikes students didn't read. No problem, we shall do next time!
Special thanks to Goga Enikő, our English teacher, for cooperation.

Our French Club in Braşov

 On 23th of February, our club was invited by the  French Association in Braşov.  They were real great hosts: all the staff were waiting us with French cakes. We visited their library. We visited also a real interesting photo exhibition, called HIDRO-GENE. The photos introduced us in the miracle of the underwater  world.

We had the privilege that Mrs. Christel Stratinovici, the artist of  those photos was with us too!  She is from France. We had a real interesting discussion with her.
At the end of the program we visited a little the ''George Bariţiu'' County Library

and the "Áprily Lajos" High School.  They are in good collaboration with the Alianţa Franceză.

We have thank very much to the French Association for the program, for their hospitality and support.
