Hello,
Our names are Tiffani Farthing and Doris Morales we are from Jersey
City,N.J.Collecting samples on Monday was so much fun and interesting in
Lincoln Park.We were examining the seaweed,water,and worms.Everyone
participated in this activity,who were with us. Mr. Baron was a great
help to us as well as our teacher, Miss Rogers who prepared us for the
equipment to get us started. We also took the water temperature. When
we got back to the classroom we examined our samples under the
microscope. We have to do more work and research so we'll have to talk
with you later on. We had a great time.
Yours truly,
Tiffani and Doris

Hi, my name is Shanco Wilson, I attend Pinelands High
School in Cape Town, South Africa the southern most point of Africa.
Many people think that we are still living in the stone age but they
are wrong because if we were I would not be writing to you. We are
quite modern and we live in normal houses and do normal things just
like the rest of the world not like the broad picture of Africa that
many people see. I think that we in South Africa are more modern than
the other countries. There is still a bit of violence in South Africa
as we have just come from our first democratic election. There are
tribes who are holding onto their culture and such as the Zulu and
the Xhosa.
All the grade 8 students have just finished a computer/history and
library project. We could choose different topics such as snakes,
animals, medicine and more. In this project we had to use many books
and we really had to work on it because our teacher (Ms.P.Miller)
wanted it to look good and to be flawless. My topic was on snakes and
I really enjoyed it because I found out many things about snake which
I never knew before.

Dear Joshua Baron
We are two black students from South Africa who would like to tell
you about the Zulu culture.Our names are Zanele and Mbali We live in
the province of Kwa- Zulu Natal in the city of Pietermaritzburg. We
go to school at The Wykeham Collegiate and we are in std 4 (grade 6).
We go to an English school but at home we speak zulu.
The first thing in the zulu custom is the clothing. Men, women and
children normally wear traditional clothes. The men's traditional
clothes are a bheshu made out of cow's skin with sandles which are
called imbadada. The bheshu goes around the waist of the man. Now
we come to the womans clothing. Woman who are not married go
topless but woman who are married have to wear a top to show they are
married. Women also wear a long dress and a hat. Too the children
it depends weather they are a boy or a girl. Girls wear short skirts
and no tops but boys wear bhesus.
At home the woman and the children have to respect the man of the
house (father). The man has many honours but also has to be
responsible. In the zulu custom the man has to feed the family.
On a special occasion woman are hard at work in the kitchen. girls
over the age of thirteen are reffered to as woman so they also have
help in the kitchen. Woman cook papa, salads and zulu beer. While
the men braai meat outside. Younger kids under the age of 13 play
outside. Usaully a lot of guests come and they are entertained by a
litle music. When the meal is ready the woman dish up a lots of
plates of food and then they are served. After that men drink zulu
beer. Special occasions are like weddings, Christmas, birthdays,
braais and Easter.
Well these are our customs and we are proud of them

Mbali and Zanele
>We have a lot of things in common. My name is Geuris Pujols and I'm in
the eighth grade at P. S. #22 in Jersey City, New Jersey, which is in
America. I love music and drawing and all kinds of sports but tennis and
soccer. On Monday we went to Lincoln Park to get some water from the pond
then we analyzed the water. We found a lot of small animals just floating
around. I found a planarian. It has a lot of parts especially eyes that
seem to be cross-eyed. we are going to share our discoveries. I hope
you can share yours with us. I hope we can communicate again.
