| Here are the four high school exchange students' names |
The four exchange students from Denmark came to share their experiences in Denmark compared to their two short weeks in North Carolina. The fourth grade students had numerous questions for the exchange students. The fourth graders were so engaged throughout this session!
A few common themes were:
- Everything is bigger in N.C. (cars, stores, houses, etc.)
- N.C. doesn't have as many bicycles or trains as Denmark
- Wal-Mart is enormous-Martin almost fell over when he went inside the store :)
- Most students in Denmark take a year off after high school to travel. If students further their education at a university, the student gets paid instead of paying tuition! Wow!
- Most of the students knew several languages-Danish, English, Swedish and German to name a few.
- Denmark has made a lot of attempts with sustainable energy (a lot of wind farms, etc.)
- School lunches in N.C. filled them up but left the exchange students feeling tired
- Denmark has numerous imports and exports due to the expansive shipping industry
- Denmark has a lot of pigs, and pork is a common meal
- The Denmark students loved the mountains in N.C. Where they're from, the land is very flat.
- The students were sad to leave their host families and really enjoyed their stay here :)
I had an exchange student named Martin Davedsen. He loved to play soccer and we taught him to play basketball.He got to dunk some. Martin was also very halarious.

lulu toler~I liked it when the Denmark students came. Martin said when he went to school, that our food was not healthy. He said in Denmark it would be healthier. Maybe we should make our food healthier like in Demark. :)
ReplyDeleteStella Manske- I loved listening to the exchange students from Denmark. I thought that it was interesting how it would be rude in Denmark not to eat every meal with a knife. I hope Mrs. Fields has a wonderful time on her trip!
ReplyDeleteHaylei Byers-Denmark kids named Trine, Kirstine, Jeppe, Martin. Those kids told us about what it is like at Denmark. They have learned many different languages since they were very little.
ReplyDeleteI thought it was cool being able to meet those nice kids.
Caleb Buckner-I really liked having the exchange students. I think we should have healthier meals .I can't believe that they eat almost everything with a knife.
ReplyDeleteLaura Fox- I thought having exchange students at our school is so cool!!! I do agree with the exchange students that our food at school is unhealthly and we should have better food here at school.
ReplyDeleteJacob Strater-When the exchange students came they each wrote their names on the board and talked about what was different from North Carolina then from denmark. They also said that it would be rude to eat with a fork and spoon. There they olny use knives. It was realy cool seeing real kids from Demark.
ReplyDeleteAlex Best-I really liked the Denmark students,I think it is really cool that there are so many differences between North Carolina and Denmark.I also thought that there names were funny.I hope that Mrs.Fields has a great great time on her trip to Denmark.:):):)!!!!!!!!!
