Our class not only completed the task to create a presentation on the EU, but excelled in knowledge, accuracy, and in presenting. It was a huge honor for Ms.Kofler to even come to Smith, but to ask for OUR prezi(may i remind you, it was made by 7th graders) to use in future presentations was absolutely amazing! She taught me so much i would have never known, and for that I'm very grateful!Leigh ;)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5269893996506370872.post-14671869142960470672012-02-09T20:53:36.206-05:002012-02-09T20:53:36.206-05:00I was actually really proud of our French 1 class ...I was actually really proud of our French 1 class for presenting the Prezi that we worked really hard on. And I'm really suprised/happy that the Lady from the EU spent her time and came here and said that that presentation was the best she has ever seen and that she wanted us to send it to her so she could show her EU buddies. I really hope that the US can help the EU with Greece's financial crisis.Angela :)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5269893996506370872.post-4838169856754911682012-02-09T20:34:24.348-05:002012-02-09T20:34:24.348-05:00Clayton W.

I knew alot about the EU but Ms.Kofler told us other things about the Eu that I did not know about. She also talk about the Greece money crisis and what the EU is doing to stop it. I think american citizens should do a bunch of fundraisers to help stop the Greece money crisis. We are very grateful that the EU give us money so we can do the Belgium Exchange ProgramAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5269893996506370872.post-3563500219430267312012-02-09T20:33:46.774-05:002012-02-09T20:33:46.774-05:00I thought it was a great honor for Ms. Kofler to c...I thought it was a great honor for Ms. Kofler to come and meet us, the students of SMS! The EU has 27 countries and they are all different in some ways which I think is awesome! I just love learning about many cultures and their unique customs. We are all informed that Greece is in a very tight financial spot, so we need to be all supported so that the European Union won't crumble! We have to help a fellow country in need. There are many other countries out there but I think we could put it all together as one. :)Angelanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5269893996506370872.post-89665822027573785622012-02-09T17:44:24.178-05:002012-02-09T17:44:24.178-05:00Daniel R.

I learned that Crosia is going to be the 28th country of the EU and a lot about the debt crisis and other things. I also learned that Greece is gathering money from other countries to help fix it's economy. I hope that this debt crisis and other stuff gets better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5269893996506370872.post-37632189217485877692012-02-09T17:10:09.830-05:002012-02-09T17:10:09.830-05:00Thank you for coming to Smith Middle!

I know that it was started after WW2, that it uses euros, and that united in diversity is their motto.<br />All I know about the debt crisis is that Greece joined the European union, but they werein a lot of debt.<br />I think that the EU can help Europe become more stable by helping them, and trying to loan money to good causes.<br />Since europe is in a lot of debt, Americans can donate some money to help. America can also trade with Europe, that would help!Rosemary Ynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5269893996506370872.post-75045455138603303452012-02-09T13:20:56.979-05:002012-02-09T13:20:56.979-05:00Jay P.

It reminded me to stay positive about the future of the Euro and the EU despite the views of American media.

There are 17 countries in the Euro Zone and was founded by six countries in 1958. There are 12 stars on the EU flag and it's blue and yellow. The EU will pull through this debt crisis and become whole again, I know it. Thank you to the EU for being such a great sponsor and taking the time out of your busy schedule to send a diplomat to our school. I hope her visit has been well. <br /><br />-Sydney B, 8th gradeSydneynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5269893996506370872.post-2540158531703101502012-02-09T10:06:57.378-05:002012-02-09T10:06:57.378-05:00I know that there are 27 countries in the EU, and ...I know that there are 27 countries in the EU, and 17 of them use the Euro.

I was unable to come to the presentation about the EU because I was taking a math test. However, I really would have liked to come and see the presentation. I think it wonderful that we could get an EU diplomat come to our school and talk about the EU, so thank you for coming!<br /><br />StephenStephen Fokseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11037589928587769147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5269893996506370872.post-22029084568695038852012-02-09T10:05:43.397-05:002012-02-09T10:05:43.397-05:00In the two years I've been in French class we ...In the two years I've been in French class we have discussed the importance of the EU and how much they have supported us the last 3 years. I know the basic facts such as the European Anthem, the countries in the EU, the countries using the Euro, and some other facts too. Right now I know how some of the countries are in a very serious financial crisis such as Greece. The EU has discussed plans to help restore the economy and I'm not sure whether or not any official decision had been made yet, though. We can also lend our support to the EU, we can discuss options for a "better" planNikki :Dnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5269893996506370872.post-86092371378258550842012-02-09T10:02:56.705-05:002012-02-09T10:02:56.705-05:00I thank the lady that came here.
