Novosibirsk Sense of Caring Artwork and Writing

When we received artwork from our school friends in Novosibirsk, Russia, we were excited! We sat in a circle in our classroom and opened the package.

We looked at all the artwork as our teacher read the writing for each picture.

We passed the artwork and writing around the circle for everyone to see and read.

Here is some of the artwork from our friends in Novosibirsk, Russia that tells us what they care about.

I live in Siberia. I have got a teddy bear. You can see it in the picture. Its name is Tommy. It is very little and nice. It is pink, yellow, blue, purple and black. It can not run, jump or play tennis with me. It can listen to my songs and even smile. We are good friends. I like to watch TV with my teddy bear. We have got a dog at home and he likes to play with my teddy bear and me too. My teddy bear is very soft and kind. I like to sleep with my teddy bear. Have you got a pet at home? What toys do you like to play with? What games can you play?
